While attending a concert in Italy, Ed Sheeran sparked controversy after he took a picture with actor Johnny Depp.
The two were among the special guests at the event, which was held to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Italian opera singer Andre Bocelli.
Russell Crowe, who was also at the event, posted a picture of himself drinking from a beer bottle backstage with Sheeran and Depp.
He captioned the image that he shared on his Instagram account. The Gladiator actor noted that the two actors had a good time backstage.
The post was widely criticized online. Many people expressed their anger and despair.
One person even posted a GIF of Tyra Banks shouting at Ed Sheeran. Many others supported the singer.
One person called out Sheeran for posting the picture. Another person stated that the British singer is not a girl’s girl.
Another person called out Depp for being a vile person. The actor has been criticized following the public breakdown of his marriage to Amber Heard.
In 2020, he lost a libel case in the UK against a newspaper that called him a “wife beater.”
Then, in 2022, a US jury ruled that Heard had defamed him by writing an article about domestic abuse.
The actor worked to repair his image and put his career back on track. Not everyone was as negative about the image.
The reaction to the photo was positive. Many people praised the image. One person stated that it was an epic photo.
Another said it was just amazing.
