Johnny Depp Appears on 2022 MTV VMAs as Moonman: 'Needed the Work'
MTV
Johnny Depp made a surprise appearance at — sort of at — the 2022 MTV VMAs Sunday.
After all the drama of his high-profile defamation case against Amber Heard, the actor apparently wanted a little fun, so allowed his face to be projected onto the iconic MTV Moonman.
For the brief, two-part cameo, the 59-year-old actor was heard saying, in a prerecorded bit, "And you know what? I needed the work."
It was one of many big moments on the show, which included live performances by everyone from Lizzo to Nicki Minaj to Jack Harlow and Blackpink.
The fun gig for Depp comes after he won his case against Heard and Heard won a portion of her case against him.
Each of them has filed an appeal.
