Johnny Depp has shared his first-ever TikTok video, alongside a message of thanks to his fans – check it out:
The montage clip shows Depp waving to supporters, many of whom hold placards; getting ready backstage and performing on stage.
Sharing the video, he wrote: “To all of my most treasured, loyal and unwavering supporters. We’ve been everywhere together, we have seen everything together. We have walked the same road together.

“We did the right thing together, all because you cared. And now, we will all move forward together.
“You are, as always, my employers and once again I am whittled down to no way to say thank you, other than just by saying thank you. So, thank you.
“My love & respect, JD.”
Fans of Depp have since flooded the post with messages of support, with one writing: “You are AMAZING, so talented and kind-hearted, wishing you a happy new chapter in life.”

Another said: “We love you & will always support you! while a third commented: “It’s because you’re a legend don’t ever doubt that.”
The Hollywood star has made his TikTok debut less than a week after his high-profile defamation case against ex-wife drew to a close, with jurors finding in favour of Depp.
In a statement after his win, Depp said he had been ‘overwhelmed’ by the response from his fans.
An excerpt from that statement read: “I am, and have been, overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and the colossal support and kindness from around the world.
"I hope that my quest to have the truth be told will have helped others, men or women, who have found themselves in my situation, and that those supporting them never give up.

"I also hope that the position will now return to innocent until proven guilty, both within the courts and in the media.”
The actor went on to say the 'best is yet to come' and that a 'new chapter has finally begun', adding: “Veritas numquam perit. Truth never perishes."
Depp didn’t attend the Virginia courthouse on the day that verdict was announced, as he was touring the UK with guitarist Jeff Beck.
In fact, shortly before the verdict was read out, Depp had been chowing down on fish and chips at the Bridge Tavern pub in Newcastle, alongside Beck and Geordie musician Sam Fender.
