Johnny Depp and his Sauvage advertisements

Whatever your feelings about the American court case, he remains convicted of abuse here in the U.K. Yet I keep seeing him in the Sauvage advertisements everywhere. A sad state of affairs for women everywhere if this is considered acceptable. Must be very triggering for women who have experienced DV.

I find him very easy on the eye.

Chickpea17 · 17/11/2023 15:05

He's never been convicted of abuse in the UK. Where are you getting that from?

Glad it's not just me.

I don't think he was convicted, I assumed you mean the liable case that the tabloids won?

He is a known drunk and honestly looks like he would smell of urine, stale smoke and body odour. Seems an odd choice for an aftershave advert.

Strangerfings1 · 17/11/2023 15:10

OMG those Daisy adverts as so fucking creepy. They look like they're in some weird cult

He can give me a sauvage

Not if I get his sauvage first 😆

C1N1C · 17/11/2023 15:12

I think OP's in the minority with this one...

Achillo · 17/11/2023 15:12

I prefer the parody ones of Meghan Markle going around for a made up perfume called 'Sausage'.

How do you edit the but where Amber severed his finger out of your narrative?

i like the adverts. better than the daisy ones.

It is an annoying advert but my favourite perfume

Thiswayorthatway · 17/11/2023 15:15

I once saw a Sauvage advert on a bus stop either the v changed to an s 🤣😆

Bore off OP.

VivienneDelacroix · 17/11/2023 15:17

Although Depp hasn't been convicted in the US or the UK, he's a despicable man and the recordings show that very clearly. The adverts make me very uncomfortable, particularly the name of the product coupled with the allegations - it's at best distasteful but some might say it's deliberately playing on the themes of abuse to keep him in an ad campaign for a product called Savage /Wild.

Fight ya for it 🤣

I have to say though on the grounds of his level of general attractiveness, he should not be doing any ads. if anything he is a walking ad for not doing drugs...

This.

He's crossed over from 'a little rough around the edges' to 'rough as a badger's arse'.

<shudder>

Absolutely.

rubydoobydoo · 17/11/2023 15:18

I don't understand why anyone would want to smell like Johnny Depp in the desert. He looks too overdressed and sweaty.

He hasn't been convicted of anything though!

Perfume ads are a league of their own.

I have (some) sympathy for the creators - how do you sell a smell? But they’ve become a whole genre of preposterous shite.

Give me a Boddington’s any day. Self deprecating and catchy.

Yeah, but you wouldn’t want to smell of it would you? 😂

hi amber 👋

Howling at this

Dis626 · 17/11/2023 15:27

I think he was the victim of domestic abuse rather than the perpetrator. He wasn't convicted of abuse in the UK either!

doodlejump1980 · 17/11/2023 15:28

For a time people were adding an S to all the sauvage ads around town. Made me chortle.

CJ7 · 17/11/2023 15:30

Depp reportedly signed a three-year deal with Dior “at upwards of $20 million,” according to Variety. The outlet said that the partnership marked the largest men's fragrance deal in history.

He must be doing something right.
