Johnny Depp has enjoyed a solid career run in Hollywood, though his journey has been marred by constant substance abuse and a highly-publicized legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard. Recently, the 60-year-old had an ankle injury which led to rescheduling some shows with his band, Hollywood Vampires.
The actor has faced much criticism lately about his attitude towards his performance at shows. Also, a recent photograph of him sparked concerns among friends and fans, who think his reckless lifestyle is impacting his life.
Insiders believe that Johnny Depp’s partying and drinking is taking a toll on him
In an interview with Life & Style, a source close to the actor-cum musician has revealed that in light of his recent appearance, where he sported a cane, people are concerned about his health. “Johnny’s pals fear his partying is once again catching up to him,” the insider admitted. “Some claim his boozing has gotten so bad that they want to stage an intervention.”

The insider also mentioned that his fellow band members were frustrated when the Budapest concert got canceled unexpectedly due to Depp fainting in his hotel room. “His bandmates were furious but also concerned,” the source added. “Johnny doesn’t know when to stop.”
The source says he is getting too old for this lifestyle
Depp had always been known as a party animal with a huge passion for drinking, and an extravagant lifestyle. During his divorce and defamation proceedings, he openly acknowledged his struggles with substance abuse, which some of his supporters thought could be linked to the hardships he endured.
Despite the widespread belief that the trial’s conclusion might offer him a chance to move on and begin a new life, an insider disclosed that this hasn’t materialized as expected. “There are probably many reasons he wants to check out, but some say the Amber drama still affects him. He’s famous for falling down, picking himself up, brushing himself off, and moving on, but he can’t do that forever, and at some point, something is going to give,” the source reflected. “Johnny is way too old to be acting like a young rock star. He’s just not bouncing back like he used to.”
