At the Glastonbury Festival 2022 on Saturday, June 25, viewers caught a glimpse of Johnny Depp during Paul McCartney’s performance. The former Beatles member sung the song while a scene from the My Valentine movie starring the Pirates of the Caribbean star was shown on the big screen.
The audience cheered loudly when Johnny Depp appeared in the 2012 music video. The track’s video not only included the Fantastic Beasts star, but also Natalie Portman, who signed along with the iconic singer.
The two-hour headlining performance of the 80-year-old singer was seen by those watching BBC One at home. In addition to My Valentine, Paul McCartney performed several of his well-known songs at Glastonbury. Even a virtual duet with John Lennon, a member of the Beatles, was added.

These conflicted sentiments were a result of the six-week Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial, which resulted in the former’s victory. The jury decided in favour of the 59-year-old actor who was suing his ex-spouse, awarding him $15 million in damages. Because of Virginia law, the court later reduced this to $10.3 million.
