Charlize Theron Snubs Johnny Depp at Dior Show During Paris Fashion Week

During the Dior Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week, Charlize Theron appeared to intentionally avoid her former co-star Johnny Depp. The actress, who starred with Depp in the 1999 film The Astronaut’s Wife, was seen greeting prominent figures like Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH, and French First Lady Brigitte Macron, but notably did not interact with Depp.

Photographs captured Theron exchanging hellos with Macron and Arnault, while Depp, standing nearby, watched Theron approach Macron. After greeting Macron, Theron continued walking without acknowledging Depp, who was left standing awkwardly. The event, described as hectic by a source, may explain the seeming silence, but the reason for Theron’s behavior remains unclear.

Depp watched her actions and appeared ready to be next in line. While the two have no recent reported interactions, Depp’s history with Theron was marked by a high-profile legal battle. He sued her for defamation following her allegations, and the case concluded in 2022 with Depp winning financial damages, while Heard was awarded a smaller sum in her countersuit.

Depp’s career made a notable rebound in 2023 with a role in Jeanne du Barry and securing a lucrative Dior endorsement deal. Meanwhile, Theron has long been associated with Dior, serving as the face of J’Adore perfume for two decades and continuing her role as a brand ambassador for jewelry and skincare. Reps for both stars did not comment immediately on the incident.
