Did Captain Jack Sparrow spring for an updated smile?
Johnny Depp flashed seemingly new pearly whites after his “rotting” teeth went viral last year.
In an Instagram video, which Page Six can confirm was taken recently, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star was seen living it up while on vacation in the Bahamas.
Depp interacted with both patrons and staff members at a beachside bar in Exuma, going on to grin several times for those filming.

Reps for Depp did not immediately respond to our request for comment on his apparent new smile, but the consensus among netizens is that “he looks amazing, happy and healthy.”
The Oscar nominee was the center of attention at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival — but it wasn’t just his performance in “Jeanne du Barry” that had people talking.
Pictures of Depp walking the red carpet quickly took the internet by storm, with many people focused on his discolored and crooked chompers.
“Johnny Depp’s teeth are literally ROTTING,” one X user claimed, while another argued, “johnny depp just looks like someone grabbed his teeth and painted them black.”

Amid the mass concern over Depp’s oral health, celebrity dentist Dr. Apa suggested to Page Six at the time that it was a simple case of “aggressive” wear and tear.
“He has wear, which has been a cumulative effect over a lifetime,” Apa hypothesized. “Wear like that — sometimes we see it in 30-year-olds in really aggressive cases, and sometimes we see it in cases like Depp.”
Apa said Depp’s passion for espresso and cigarillos was probably to blame for the “stainy” teeth, which he said likely hadn’t been cleaned in “years.”

“I’ve got loads of cavities,” he told Premiere magazine in 1995. “I had a root canal done eight years ago that’s unfinished. It’s like a rotten little stub.”
The actor, then 31, insisted that he “liked” his flawed smile.
“It’s like when the Indians would make something beaded, they would always put imperfections on it,” he pointed out, adding, “I’m proud of these.”

“When I see people with perfect teeth, it drives me up the wall,” he shared. “I’d rather swallow a tick than have that!”
The magazine did note, however, that Depp’s breath remained odorless despite his affinity for chain-smoking cigarettes and sipping merlot.
