Johnny Depp to sell artwork consisting portraits of Heath Ledger, Tim Burton and more as NFT collection

American actor and producer Johnny Depp has announced plans to sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs) based on his personal artwork. The actor’s portraits of Heath Ledger, Tim Burton and more have been turned into non-fungible tokens.

The collection, titled ‘Never Fear Truth’, features portraits of Depp’s friends and heroes, including Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Hunter S. Thompson, Heath Ledger, Lily-Rose Depp, Tim Burton, Depp’s late dog Mooh, Depp himself, and a fictional character created by his son, called Bunnyman.

According to the reports, the collection is developed from original artwork by Johnny Depp, which has been embellished and animated into 11,111 NFTs. Non-fungible tokens are digital assets bought and sold using block chain technology, which have no tangible form in reality. Twenty-five per cent of all proceeds from sales will be donated to charities either supported by Depp or close to the subjects within the artwork. These include the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital, Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Perth Children’s Hospital and The Gonzo Trust.

According to NME publication, in a statement, Depp said in a statement, “I’ve always used art to express my feelings and to reflect on those who matter most to me, like my family, friends and people I admire. My paintings surround my life, but I kept them to myself and limited myself. No one should ever limit themselves. In turn, we decided to release a series of portraits, but in a way that could also give something back. Having the opportunity to salute my supporters and support the charities that have been so important to my family is an incredible gift. I hope we can create a new community of friends around these NFTs. My involvement in the NFT space has just begun.”

Those who purchase an NFT will be given access to Depp’s community on Discord. 10,000 NFTs will go on sale via the collection’s official website, with applications open from Wednesday January 26. The remaining 1,111 NFTs will be held by Depp, who will be allocating them to fans and charities that have supported him.

Johnny Depp is the latest celebrity to launch an NFT collection, following director Quentin Tarantino who released content for Pulp Fiction, while David Lynch teamed up with Interpol to offer fans the chance to own their 2011 Coachella performance.

Saqib Saleem, who is giving finishing touches to his performance in what is undoubtedly 2020's most anticipated film - '83,  is absolutely excited to play Mohinder Amarnath in the upcoming Ranveer Singh starrer. But the reason is not just limited to him being part of this iconic project but for what it means to him personally. Talking about wanting to be a cricketer growing up, Saqib says, "Doing '83 was almost like an act of fate. I grew up playing cricket wanting to go pro. I played State level U-19 but that was that. When I decided to become an actor, I knew that life was going to take a whole new path. When I heard about Kabir sir casting for 83, I chased him to ensure I was able to atleast audition."

Nora Fatehi turns up the heat with Marjaavaan's new song Ek Toh Kum Zindagani! Nora Fatehi's sizzling dance moves in chartbusters including 'Dilbar' ( Satyameva Jayate ) and 'Saki Saki' ( Batla House ) among others has made her a household name in a short span of time. The gorgeous actress, who wants to create a niche for herself as a talented actress, has been focusing more on performance-oriented roles, like last seen in Batla House starring John Abraham. Interestingly, one of the major reasons why Nora agreed to do the song 'Ek Toh Kum Zindagani' in Marjaavaan without charging any money is because she feels obliged to filmmaker Nikkhil Advani and producer Bhushan Kumar who offered her the song 'Dilbar' in Satyameva Jayate, considered to be a turning point in her career. Nora has always been grateful and humbled by the opportunity Nikkhil Advani and Bhushan Kumar have given her with both 'Dilbar' and 'Saki Saki' and s...
