Johnny Depp’s fans flooded his social media account with warm messages on his birthday.

Depp previously suffered after his ex-wife Amber Heard accused him of being violent and abusive. He lost several projects and was dropped from “Pirates of the Caribbean” where he played his most popular character, Jack Sparrow.

However, earlier this year, a recording of Heard confessing that she started their fight and hit him leaked. It changed the narrative of their split. Depp redeemed himself and received much love from his fans and even those who used to criticize him over Heard’s abuse allegations.

In April, Depp officially joined Instagram. For his first post, he thanked his fans for their unwavering support.

On Tuesday (June 9), Depp turned 57 years old and his supporters flooded his social media account with warm birthday greetings.

“Happy Birthday Johnny I’ll always love you,” one commented.

“Happy birthday once again Johnny, hope you are having an amazing day with your loved ones,” another added.

“Happy Birthday again Johnny! wish you the best! you deserve the best! we love you so much!” a different online user wrote.

“Happy birthday Johnny! Hope today and every day of your life is perfection! You deserve the very best! thank you for all your amazing art,” another fan added.

“Happy birthday Johnny. I wish you the best things the world and God can give you. I also love Jack Sparrow, my favorite pirate in the Caribbean and the world. Stay save [sic],” dgodyla stated.

Several netizens also expressed their love for Depp on Twitter.

“#JohnnyDepp will likely be invaded by "Happy Birthday, Johnny! I love you!" on his Instagram DM today. I hope he will welcome and appreciate small gifts, love messages, wishes, drawings and all these positive things that can only heal his soul,” @mg_violette wrote.

“Happy Birthday #JohnnyDepp! Wishing the Pirate sweetheart many happy returns of the day,” ETimes posted.
