Johnny Depp self-portrait to go on sale
Pirates of the Caribbean star Depp created the original works in the early 2000s, during the early years of his relationship with the French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis.
The couple lived with their children, Jack and Lily-Rose, at their estate Le Hameau, in the south of France, where he painted the works. The pair announced their split in 2012.
Depp said: 'I've been lucky enough to understand through various artists – listening, learning things – the only thing you can really do is add the light to what's there.'
Asked about his self-portrait, which is painted in watercolours, Depp said: 'It represents exactly what I was experiencing at the time – very present, just there.'
The companion piece is a single rose, entitled A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose.
Depp added: 'When Lily-Rose was a little kiddie, I'd paint her a rose every Valentine's Day.
'On Mother's Day, I'd paint Vanessa some roses. You don't really know where it's going to go, it's all up to chance.'
The works, available in a limited edition of 195, are all hand-signed by Depp and can be bought individually or as a set.
The paintings follow previous art he has created and sold in recent years.
They will go on sale from 8am on July 18, exclusively at castlefineart.com and in their 38 nationwide UK galleries.

David Beckham hugs Harper and Victoria on superyacht amid stormy family feud
For months, rumours have rumbled of a bitter split within the Beckham family - but proud dad David looked happy as a clam as he hugged his daughter and wife on a luxury holiday David Beckham looked in good spirits on the high seas as he hugged his daughter and wife during a trip to St Tropez. The 50-year-old sporting legend joined wife Victoria, 51, and daughter Harper Seven, 14, on the deck of a luxury yacht. The sport star looked casual in a sand coloured cap and dark t-shirt - and with a smile stretched across his face. Victoria pouted alongside her husband with her hair loose around her shoulders. While teenage daughter Harper looked pretty in a pink as she wrapped up in a casual hooded top. The trio were spied on the deck of the boat lined up for a photograph together. The famous family are known for heading to the south of France to enjoy a summer break year after year. And they were joined by second son, Romeo, 22 - who reportedly spent the afternoon zipping around the sea on a jet ski. Father, daughter and wife posed and smiled for the cameras as their boat - worth a reported £16 million - bobbed gently on the Mediterranean waters. The Daily Mail shared the sun-soaked snaps which made the family look like they had not a care in the world while enjoying the picturesque French weather. The calm image is in contrast to the stormy headlines that have haunted the Beckham family in recent months. A feud is said to have erupted between the family and eldest son Brookyln - who is married to American Billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz. Fans became concerned for the Beckhams after they noticed Brooklyn and his wife snubbed David during his 50th birthday celebrations in May. In subsequent months, there have been reports that Brooklyn and Nicola have clashed with his younger brothers - while other reports have suggested the family have been at odds since Nicola and her husband got married in 2022. There have also been shady comments and social media quips that have left fans reading into the smallest details for evidence of a feud. On Saturday, social media posts featuring Romeo and his younger sister Harper hinted they were glad to be in the sun and away from feud-fuelled headlines. The duo were spotted heading out for dinner in St Tropez and both cut casual appearances. Romeo was pictured wearing a red baseball cap, teamed with a round neck white sweater. Meanwhile Harper opted for a white hoodie with the word "Seven" emblazoned across the front of it. Both looked in high spirits as they enjoyed an evening out with their parents. While Vicky, Dave and their kids have been lapping up the sun in France, estranged son Brooklyn has been spotted in the UK - far from his Hollywood home. The couple took a leisurely stroll through a picturesque garden where they were spied by fans. Nicola took a candid photo of her husband by a quaint garden well, while they both opted for casual outfits for their trip. One sweet photo shows Brooklyn kissing Nicola as they pose in front of a mirror. Fans noted, however, that the couple enjoyed time in the UK while the rest of the Beckham family were abroad - raising speculation they may have coordinated their trip to avoid a run in.

Johnny Depp's secret new life in rural Sussex with sprawling mansion
Johnny Depp has reportedly ditched Hollywood for a sprawling Sussex mansion - hidden behind Gothic gates, and locals say he's been spotted "shopping quietly" and "enjoying country walks" Johnny Depp has traded the chaos of Hollywood for the quiet life of a secluded country mansion in East Sussex. The Caribbean actor appears determined to find peace in the rolling hills of rural England. Locals have spotted the 62-year-old Hollywood star strolling the high street in nearby Wadhurst and have also been seen wandering the grounds of his impressive and historic home. The ten-bedroom manor dates back to the 1850s and is hidden behind towering trees, ornate gates, and Gothic statues. The estate includes sunken gardens, water features, orchards, an open-air amphitheatre, and two staff cottages. According to a report, the star has often been spotted enjoying breakfast on a terrace overlooking the Sussex countryside. 'Mr Depp knows this area well and he loves it here,' a local source said. "It's a beautiful home and very peaceful.' His connection to the area reportedly began with visits to his late friend, guitarist Jeff Beck, who offered support during Depp's darkest days, even inviting him on stage when others turned their backs. Depp stayed at Beck's 16th-century farmhouse during the pandemic and remains close to Beck's widow, Sandra. Unlike the Cotswolds - favoured by stars like Hugh Grant, Stella McCartney, and Ellen DeGeneres - East Sussex offers anonymity. 'Johnny's choice of a very quiet corner of Sussex rather than the goldfish bowl that the Cotswolds has become for big stars tells you all you need to know about his mindset: he wants peace and quiet,' one showbiz insider told The Daily Mail. 'And he has no interest in being judged by the kind of people who walked away from him.' Depp's career was nearly destroyed after losing a UK libel case in 2020, being labeled a "wife beater," and then dropped from major roles, including Fantastic Beasts and Pirates of the Caribbean. Although he won a U.S. defamation case against Heard in 2022, the damage to his reputation was severe. 'I was shunned, dumped, booted, deep-sixed, cancelled, however you want to define it,' Depp said in a recent interview. 'Would I rather have not gone through that? Of course. But I learned more than I ever dreamed I could.' Now he's making a slow return as he was recently chauffeured from Sussex to the London premiere of Modigliani: Three Days On The Wing Of Madness—his first time directing since 1997. The film, set in WWI-era Paris, stars Riccardo Scamarcio and Al Pacino. His current residence is owned by multimillionaire Prudence Watts, 74, known locally for her garden centre and quiet philanthropy. The home, regarded as one of the finest in the area, reportedly rents for between £30,000 and £40,000 a month. It is owned by Prudence Watts, whose late husband, Kevan Watts, was a banker known for helping turn Merrill Lynch into a major global financial firm. Despite the tight security around the property, Depp's presence has caused little disruption in the area. 'He seems like a really nice, down-to-earth bloke,' said one local 'Being in East Sussex will do him some good.' Another person added: 'None of us are perfect—not even Johnny Depp. If I see him again, I'm going to ask for a selfie. I'm sure he won't mind.'

'I tried six lipsticks under £20 to prove make-up doesn't have to cost a fortune'
Cosmetics can prove expensive, so former makeup artist turned Senior Social News Reporter Danielle Kate Wroe has tested out some lipsticks for less than £20 and shared her top picks It's all too easy to fall into the trap of believing the more expensive something is, the better it must be. I've been there before, justifying spending almost £50 for lipsticks just because it was 'trending' or my favourite celebrity loved it. The truth is, nobody knows how much your lipstick costs when you're out and about with your makeup looking good – and wouldn't you rather save your money for more fun things like dinner with pals and trips rather than overspending on make-up? To celebrate National Lipstick Day (July 29), I tried some budget lip products and picked out some of my favourites. They're all under £20, so they won't break the bank but will still leave you looking great. 1. Refy Lip Sculpt, shade 'Suede' –£18 Anyone who knows me will know that a brown-nude lipstick is my go-to. Mac Whirl (£25) is my favourite for a low-maintenance swipe of colour, so I wanted to try something that would give a similar dark nude with rosy-brown undertone vibes that would be equally low maintenance. Enter Refy Lip Sculpt. I'm blown away by how a humble lip liner can have such great staying power. I went to a wedding wearing this and didn't have to reapply once, which has earned this product a permanent spot in my makeup bag. 2. UKLips Plumping Lip Gloss, shade 'Rose' –£16 If you're a fan of the 'your lips but better' look, this plumping lip gloss will work wonders for you and help you to achieve the perfect pout. It's rare that I'll opt for just a plumping gloss without at least a liner underneath, but this is the perfect shade for long walks and grabbing coffee with pals. It makes your lips look incredibly luscious with zero effort, it's not sticky, and the applicator easily coats your lip in one swipe. Perfect if you're on the go. 3. P. Louise Lip Base, shade 'Semi Nude' –£10 When I tell you I was blown away by this product, I mean it. It's so packed with pigment that it almost looks like paint, but it feels so lightweight on the lips. When I first tried it, I was slightly concerned it was going to crack and look too matte on my lips. But my fears never materialised. It lasted hours and hours without budging and didn't feel like I had any product on. I adore any product I can swipe on and not think about anymore, and while this colour was lighter than I'd usually opt for, it looked lovely in the daytime. This is another product that has earned firm favourite status in my makeup bag. If you'd prefer something a little deeper in colour, like I usually do, try 'No Censor' – the deep brown tones will look gorgeous. 4. Catrice Lip Artist Lipstick and Liner, shade 'Always Together' –£3.99 If you're a fan of something cheap, cheerful, and handy in your makeup bag, this is perfect. A two-in-one product is a fantastic idea, and the liner glides on with ease and doesn't drag your lips like some cheaper ones might. Instead, it's creamy, and the lipstick is a lovely texture as well. Plus, the colour is gorgeous. This would be a perfect failsafe option for a night out and will fit even in a tiny handbag. 5. MAC Mini MAC Traditional Matte Lipstick, shade 'Lady Danger'–£16 I have always loved mini lipsticks because they're perfect for on-the-go. This lipstick doesn't budge, even when you're eating and drinking. Plus, it's a gorgeous, vibrant shade of red that suits any skin tone. I come back to it time and time again, especially if I'm not sure what to do with my makeup for a certain occasion, and I have it in many different shades. For just £16, it's easy to apply and is the perfect size for any lips that won't have you colouring outside the lines – even if you're a make-up novice. It may be small, but it's mighty. 6. Collection Cosmetics Glaze High Colour Liquid Lipstick, shade 'Cinnamon Swirl' –£4.99 If you want a product that literally will not budge, then look no further – Collection Cosmetics have got you covered. Not only is this shade the dreamiest nude, but it will not smudge or fade, no matter what activities you've got planned. The texture isn't drying, which is ideal, because nobody wants sore and flaky lips, and for £4.99, you can't beat it! Final thoughts... Ultimately, make-up doesn't have to cost a fortune to be amazing. You may be inundated with social media ads that tell you you need the latest product that costs a lot, but you don't. Buy some cheaper versions, treat yourself, and have fun with it. Make-up is supposed to be fun, so enjoy it!
