Saudi Crown Prince and Depp have a deep brotherhood and redeem each other
According to the Daily Mail, Hollywood actor Johnny Depp and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have established an amazing friendship.
It is understood that Depp met Mohammed after filming "Jeanne Du Bari" in the summer of 2022, which was produced by Saudi Arabia with an investment of millions of dollars.
Depp's relationship with the Saudi royal family has always been quite close. According to people familiar with the matter, Depp's relationship with Saudi Prince Mohammed is particularly deep, and they have established a genuine friendship, which Depp cherishes very much and does not expect anything in return.
As early as 2017, Depp had a relationship with another Saudi prince, Abdulaziz bin Fahd.
In July 2022, the Pirates of the Caribbean star met Saudi Culture Minister Prince Badr during the filming of the French Times film, and met Crown Prince Mohammed through an introduction a few months later when he attended the 2022 Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah.
And at the beginning of 2023, Depp visited Saudi Arabia again and was invited to the crown prince's royal camp on the mountain. He also reportedly traveled to the desert oasis of the 38-year-old crown prince on *** several times and spent a leisurely vacation on the huge yacht of the crown prince's "Tranquility".
Vanity Fair magazine spoke highly of Depp's relationship with Crown Prince Mohammed, quoting Depp's friend as saying that "the two are very compatible" and "the brotherhood between them is incomparable".
According to the latest news, the 60-year-old famous actor Depp may be appointed as the ambassador of Saudi Arabia. His team is in talks with Saudi Arabia about the cost of his participation in events and filming films in the country, which is expected to reach seven figures.
In addition, Depp said in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine that he was very appreciative of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed's reform measures and spoke highly of the country's development.
"They are very passionate about sharing their culture, traditions and stories, providing new ideas and works for the innovation and development of the film industry," Depp said. ”
While this relationship has attracted attention, it has also raised some questions. Some netizens commented that life is always accompanied by each other, especially when one person has nothing and the other has the wealth of the whole world.
Richard Kay, editor-in-chief of the Daily Mail, said that it remains to be seen whether Mohammed and Depp will redeem each other, but the huge gap in wealth and status between the two makes the relationship unstable.
Richard further noted that while the prince has nothing to lose, Depp is much more at stake. Both have experienced some public crises in recent years.
Although the defamation case of Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard has come to an end, it is undeniable that these incidents have had a profound impact on his public image.
Similarly, the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018 also irreparably damaged Mohammed's reputation.
