=== Art === In July 2022, artwork made by Depp sold out less than a day since it debuted in the art retailer Castle Fine Art in London's [[Covent Garden]]. The art house hosted his "Friends & Heroes" collection, which was described as paintings of people "who have inspired him as a person". Among the art pieces, the names include actors [[Al Pacino]] and [[Elizabeth Taylor]] and musicians [[Bob Dylan]] and [[Keith Richards]]. Depp made for nearly $4 million and sold 780 prints through the art house's 37 galleries. Ahead of the sale, Depp expressed his desire to display his art publicly and stated, "I've always used art to express my feelings and to reflect on those who matter most to me, like my family, friends and people I admire." He added, "My paintings surround my life, but I kept them to myself and limited myself. No one should ever limit themselves."<ref>Brito, Christopher (July 29, 2022).

The meaning of the number five is, according to Depp, linked the fact that he was about to enter the fifth year of a dark phase in his life. Depp spoke about the difficulty in creating a self-portrait, stating: "It's not the most comfortable thing doing a self-portrait. Although, in a weird way, almost everything you do is a self-portrait in one way or another." The collections were once again hosted by Castle Fine Art gallery.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Johnny Depp Unveils His Debut Self-Portrait, Titled 'Five': 'Not the Most Comfortable Thing' |url=https://people.com/johnny-depp-debut-self-portrait-new-artwork-for-sale-photos-7563372 |access-date=October 13, 2023 |website=Peoplemag |language=en |archive-date=October 17, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231017095558/https://people.com/johnny-depp-debut-self-portrait-new-artwork-for-sale-photos-7563372 |url-status=live }}</ref> Depp opened his first art exhibition ''A Bunch of Stuff'' on October 4, 2024, at the [[Starrett–Lehigh Building]] in New York City.
