Amerian
actor
Johnny
Depp
finally
made
his
debut
on
Instagram
on
Thursday.
The
actor
shared
a
cover
of
John
Lennon's
1970
song
Isolation.
The
first
picture
shows
him
sitting
on
a
bench
surrounded
by
candles.
"Hello
everyone
filming
something
for
you
now
gimme
a
minute,"
Depp
captioned
the
first
photo.
Soon
after,
in
a
few
hours,
the
actor,
known
to
be
elusive,
shared
an
eight-minute
IGTV
video.
Johnny
talked
about
the
Coronavirus
pandemic
while
releasing
the
cover
song.
"Now
is
the
time
to
open
up
a
dialogue
as
the
threat
of
this
invisible
enemy
has
already
caused
immeasurable
tragedies
and
enormous
damage
to
people's
lives.
I
feel
we
need
to
try
to
help
each
other
throughout
these
dark
times,
these
trying
times
for
those
we
love,
for
our
community,
for
ourselves,
for
the
world
and
for
the
future," Depp
said
in
the
post.4
Urging
fans
to
be
creative
during
self-isolation,
he
added,
"it
is
important
to
brighten
your
day
in
any
way
possible".
"We
cannot
and
must
not
succumb
to
shutting
down
and
giving
in
to
what
feels
like
hellish
quarantine
monotony.
Create
something
today
that
will
benefit
yourselves
and
others
tomorrow.
Do
anything
you
think
could
be
of
use
to
brighten
someone's
day.
Draw,
read,
paint,
think,
learn,
make
a
film
on
your
phone,
play
an
instrument
if
you
play;
if
you
don't,
learn," said
the
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
actor.
Depp,
talking
about
the
cover,
said
that
he
has
been
working
on
an
album
for
the
past
few
years
with
Yardbirds
guitarist
Jeff
Beck.
He
also
played
with
Johnny
Depp
on
the
Isolation
cover.
He
believes
the
lyrics
penned
by
Lennon
are
fitting
for
what's
happening.
"The
song's
about
isolation,
fear,
and
the
existential
risk
to
our
world,
so
we
wanted
to
give
the
song
to
you.
We
truly
both
hope
in
our
own
little
way,
it
helps
you
get
through
these
unusual
times
that
we're
experiencing,
even
if
it
just
helps
to
pass
the
time
as
we
endure
isolation
together," he
added.
Johnny
Depp,
last
seen
in
Fantastic
Beasts:
The
Crimes
of
Grindelwald,
just
within
a
few
hours,
managed
to
cross
more
than
1.6
million
Instagram
followers.
