Johnny Depp is collaborating with Rihanna. Reports have confirmed that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor will appear in the singer’s Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4 performance.
Depp will star in the program, which will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories globally beginning Nov. 9. According to the source, Depp will be the first guy to appear in this “star moment” of the event, following in the footsteps of previous guests (Cindy Crawford, Erykah Badu). Depp’s segment has already been shot.
Depp’s performance in the fashion show comes little over a month after he appeared as a Moon Person at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2022. The actor appeared in a pre-recorded film when a full-sized astronaut fell from the rafters and the black face mask was taken down to expose Depp’s face.
“Hey, you know what? I needed the work,” Depp intoned before the show kicked off in earnest.
In a subsequent cameo, Depp’s astronaut flew above the audience and said, “I want you guys to know that I’m available for birthdays, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, weddings, any ol’ thing you need… Anything, you name it. So, oh, I’m also a dentist.”
Depp’s name was not on the list of featured guests when Rihanna previewed the event in an Instagram video on Oct. 25. Anitta, Burna Boy, Don Toliver, and Maxwell are among the all-star roster of artists, models, actors, and dancers. ngela Aguilar, Avani Gregg, Bella Poarch, Cara Delevingne, Damson Idris, Irina Shayk, Joan Smalls, Kornbread, Lara Stone, Lilly Singh, Marsai Martin, Precious Lee, Rickey Thompson, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Simu Liu, Taraji P. Henson, Taylour Paige, Winston Duke, Zach Miko, and many more will make special appearances
Ralph, who recently talked with ET at the 2022 Women in Film Honors dinner, remembers receiving the call from the Savage X Fenty founder.
“You get a phone call and an invitation asking, ‘Will you be savage on the runway?’ And I was like, ‘Uh yeah, yes,'” Ralph told ET.
“She has the most incredible team, they’re very knowledgeable. You know, I always say that the vibe starts from the very top so they really work very hard to be accommodating and just into you,” the Emmy winner shared of her experience on set with Rihanna. “They made sure my lingerie was just nip tucked in all the right and perfect places and I was like magic.”
The fourth season of The Savage X Fenty Show will release on Prime Video on November 9th.
