Johnny Depp auctions self-portrait 'Five' for mental health

Johnny Depp is auctioning a self-portrait titled 'Five' through Castle Fine Art for 13 days until midnight August 1. The work is based on a frame from a Dior 'Sauvage' commercial directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, chosen by Depp to honor the brand's loyalty. Created in 2021, the piece reflects a difficult period for the actor, who was in the fifth year of a complex emotional breakdown. The number '5' appears prominently in the artwork. Each print is hand-signed, numbered, and stamped with Depp's personal Bunnyman authenticity mark. For each sale, $200 will be donated to Mental Health America. Depp stated, 'A self-portrait serves as a mirror and a window to reflect on our mental health.' This is not Depp's first foray into art; his earlier limited-edition collections include 'Friends & Heroes' (portraits of Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, Elizabeth Taylor, Al Pacino) and 'Friends & Heroes II' (Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Bob Marley, Hunter S. Thompson), created from photographic references with freehand flourishes.
