The new film, a biographical drama about the Bohemian Italian artist Amedeo Mogigliani, marks Depp’s return to the director’s chair more than 25 years after he made his debut with the 1997 film The Brave.
Helping the Pirates of the Caribbean actor celebrate the long-awaited premiere were his pals Ronnie and Sally Wood.
The Rolling Stones rocker, 78, has long been friends with Depp, who even appeared on-stage at a Rolling Stones gig in 2018.
Ronnie looked typically dapper on the red carpet in a black suit and coordinated tie after taking off a stylish pair of sunglasses.
While his spouse, 47, who he tied the knot with in 2012, dazzled on the occasion in an eye-catching golden dress and some red lipstick.
The couple looked as loved-up as ever as they stood arm-in-arm while posing for photos on their arrival.

The release of Depp’s new endeavour comes just a couple of weeks after the star opened up about his ‘dumping’ by Hollywood amid Amber Heard’s allegations of abuse.
Johnny strenuously denied the accusations made by his ex, who he split from in 2016,
The couple’s alleged violent relationship sent shockwaves throughout the industry and both parties were dropped from work projects at the time.
After her allegations surfaced in 2018, Depp was axed from the Fantastic Beasts movie ‘in what felt like a millisecond’.
He told The Telegraph: ‘Like while I was doing the movie. They said we’d like you to resign. But what was really in my head was they wanted me to retire’.
He remembered his response being: ‘F*** you. There’s far too many of me to kill. If you think you can hurt me more than I’ve already been hurt you’re gravely mistaken’.
Johnny married Amber in 2015 after the pair met on set of The Rum Diary (2011). However, she filed for divorce the following year, and it was finalised in 2017.
As well as being axed from jobs, Johnny has now claimed he was also let down by some of the people in his inner circle who attended his children’s birthday parties.

Speaking to the Sunday Times, Johnny criticised the actions of three of his close friends and claimed he had been a ‘crash test dummy for the #MeToo movement’.
He said: ‘I’ll tell you what hurts. There are people, and I’m thinking of three, who did me dirty. Those people were at my kids’ parties, throwing them in the air.’
‘And, look, I understand people who could not stand up [for me], because the most frightening thing to them was making the right choice.’
During the Depp v. Heard trial that came to an end in June 2022, Johnny received a rally of support from fans at the Fairfax County courtroom in Virginia.
Johnny and Amber’s publicised legal issues began when he filed a libel lawsuit against The Sun’s publisher and it’s executive editor Dan Wootton over a 2018 article which included claims that he was a ‘wife beater.’
But in 2020, the High Court of Justice ruled in favour of The Sun’s publisher and Wootton, but Johnny later sued Amber in 2019 for defamation over a 2018 op-ed article she wrote for The Washington Post.
She countersued her ex-husband in 2020 and the trial officially began in April 2022. Two months later, the jury’s verdict was in favour of Johnny.
Last month the actor spoken out about how he was ‘deserted’ by three of his closest friends after he was accused of abuse by his ex-wife (pictured in court May 2022)
At the time, the star had offered his reaction to the ruling and expressed that the ‘jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled.’
He star also expressed, ‘Speaking the truth was something that I owed to my children and to all those who have remained steadfast in their support of me. I feel at peace knowing I have finally accomplished that.’
Amber has since moved and settled in Spain – where she raises her three children, a daughter born in 2021 via surrogacy and she announced in May that she had also welcomed twins.
Johnny has also made his return to the big screen following the trial, such as Jeanne du Barry (2023).
