Johnny Depp Forms Unlikely Friendship with Saudi Crown Prince MBS

The actor's connection with Mohammed bin Salman has sparked controversy and interest, highlighting cultural exchanges and potential business deals.

Johnny Depp's friendship with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) began in July 2022, leading to multiple visits to Saudi Arabia and discussions on cultural renaissance.
Depp's association with MBS has raised eyebrows among his friends and sparked debates on the implications of such high-profile connections.
The actor is considering a seven-figure annual contract to promote Saudi Arabia's cultural renaissance, reflecting the country's efforts to diversify its economy and enhance its cultural footprint.
Despite the controversy, Depp's trips to Saudi Arabia are seen as beneficial for his health, given the country's prohibition on alcohol.
