The followers of the protagonist of Pirates of the Caribbean are used to seeing him with his scruffy outfits and apparently untidy rock star appearance, so his team had to subject him to a real transformation to appear visible in Cannes.

As if that were not enough, the actor would have also left the occasional unfinished dental procedure, worsening the state of his cavities and other problems. In addition, he had metal veneers for a while that left visible wear on his teeth.

The actor, who will turn 60 on June 9, returned to his usual rock star look the next day. On the night of Monday, May 23, he surrounded himself with some of the most famous guitarists of all time -such as Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton or Ronnie Wood- to pay a heartfelt tribute to his friend, Jeff Beck, who died at the age of 73. .
