On August 28 in New Jersey, the MTV Video Music Awards 2022 were held, and the event was attended by a number of well-known musicians, including Taylor Swift, Lizzo, BLACKPINK, and others. The concert also marked Johnny Depp's comeback, as he made an onstage appearance while wearing the Moonman suit, which was an even larger surprise for the audience.
During his entrance, the actor was seen floating above the stage while decked out in the silver astronaut outfit that serves as the VMAs trophy's mascot. Depp's appearance was the final thing to happen before host LL Cool J entered the stage after the jaw-dropping opening performances by Jack Harlow, Fergie, and Lizzo. Depp was seen joking about getting a job during the cameo. The actor made his first TV appearance following the conclusion of his defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
The actor appeared in a pre-recorded movie and came down from the rafters while dressed as an astronaut in full size. The actor was heard saying, "Hey, you know what? I needed the work." He further also joked, "I just want you guys to know that I'm available for birthdays, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, weddings, wakes, any old thing you need."
It was earlier speculated that the actor will make a surprise appearance at the ceremony since he has a unique connection to the VMAs because he has received five Moonmen awards over his career, including Best Male Performance, Best Villain, Global Superstar, and the Generation Award in 2012. The actor's most recent appearance is currently trending on social media.
