Johnny Depp shares an important message for fans
Depp shared a long note on Instagram and wrote, “Happy New Year, Everyone – Sadly, it has been brought to my attention that online scammers are intensifying their efforts to target my fans and supporters. As part of their tactics, they create multiple, deceptive social media and email accounts impersonating me and members of my team.”
He added, “Today, AI can create the illusion of my face and voice. Scammers may look and sound just like the real me. But, neither I, nor my team, will ask you for money or your personal information. “We are actively working to combat these illicit schemes.”
As a musician, the Golden Globe winner started his career. He starred in Platoon in 1986 after making his feature film debut in the horror movie A Nightmare on Elm Street in 1984.
After that, he starred in classic movies including the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
