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.

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 😆

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?

It is an annoying advert but my favourite perfume

Bore off OP.

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.

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.
