The unexpected trio, which included Russell Crowe, posed together in a selfie.
Ed Sheeran is facing calls for cancellation after being seen drinking Guinness and spending time with Johnny Depp earlier this week.
The “Bad Habits” artist was photographed alongside Depp and Crowe while the group enjoyed socialising backstage at an Andrea Bocelli concert near Florence.
Teatro del Silenzio backstage shenanigans with Teddy & Johnny.
Lubrication by Guinness.
Perfect.
Grazie Millie Maestro Andrea Bocelli. What an incredible experience. pic.twitter.com/plEbq1LMwj— Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) July 18, 2024
The photo captured all three grinning at the camera while enjoying pints of Guinness. Will Smith and his son, Jaden Smith, were also spotted backstage.
The Gladiator actor shared the selfie on his X account with the caption: “Teatro del Silenzio backstage shenanigans with Teddy & Johnny. Lubrication by Guinness. Perfect.
“Grazie Millie Maestro Andrea Bocelli. What an incredible experience.”
While the lighthearted post drew praise from some, it also sparked backlash from Ed Sheeran’s fans, who view Johnny Depp as a divisive figure. This sentiment stems from the actor’s highly publicized 2022 defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard, which was broadcast globally.
Despite Depp’s victory in the US trial, he remains a subject of debate, as the actor previously lost a 2020 libel case in the UK. In that ruling, the court found that The Sun newspaper had not defamed him when it labeled him a “wife beater” in a headline.
