Jack embraced casual yet effortlessly chic looks during his Paris outings, sporting ensembles that blended timeless European street style with a cozy, winter-ready flair.
In one snapshot, Jack was seen wearing a vintage-inspired brown corduroy blazer layered over a vibrant orange sweater, adding a pop of color to his otherwise muted outfit. He paired the blazer with relaxed beige trousers and sturdy brown shoes, perfect for navigating the bustling streets of Paris during the holiday season.
The recent photos of Jack strolling through the streets of Paris sparked a wave of social media reactions, with many fans taking to comment sections to share their opinions and compare Jack to his famous dad.
One spectator couldn’t help but point out Jack’s resemblance to one of his dad’s past film roles, noting, “he looks like a younger version of johnny in ‘secret window [sic].'” Another observer simply stated, “Omg he looks like his dad 😮.”

Others took a closer look at Jack’s features, noting how he inherited traits from both his parents. “he looks like both his parents especially his mom but has his dads face shape and eyes [sic]..” observed an admirer, while another remarked, “Has his daddy’s brown eyes and so does lily rose [sic]. Very handsome young man.”

However, a recent Daily Mail report shed light on how the 22-year-old had been quietly working as a bartender at a Lebanese restaurant called L’Area in Paris, far from the glitz and glamour often associated with his famous family.
“Jack is a great guy; he keeps out of the limelight, but worked here behind the bar and in the kitchen,” shared Edouard. He added that Jack had spent about two years working at L’Area before leaving.
“He was a good employee, he left a few months ago but I expect him back later next year. Good staff are hard to find,” disclosed the owner.
Jack’s connection to L’Arena isn’t entirely surprising, given that his mother, Vanessa Paradis, and sister, Lily-Rose Depp, are regulars at the establishment. In fact, according to Edouard, Lily-Rose has even gotten behind the bar herself.
“Lily was mixing caipirinhas behind the bar and really getting into the swing of it, she was enjoying herself,” he recalled.

Aside from his stint as a bartender, Jack has quietly pursued his own creative passions — talents that his father has spoken about with pride in the past.
In a 2014 interview, Johnny opened up about parenting alongside his former partner, Vanessa, and shared rare insights into Jack’s artistic interests.

Reflecting on his relationship with Vanessa, whom he split from in 2012 after 14 years together, Johnny expressed nothing but warmth and mutual respect for the mother of his children.
“Vanessa and I get along wonderfully. There’s no weirdness at all, no hostility. Life happens. We spent 14 great years together and have raised a couple of kids who we are both incredibly proud of,” said Johnny at the time.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star also spoke lovingly about their two children, praising their character and growth despite growing up in the shadow of his Hollywood fame.
“My kids — I am more and more proud [of them]. Because having lived alongside me in their formative years — most parents’ jobs don’t require that kind of weirdness,” Johnny admitted, referring to the unique challenges that come with raising children in the spotlight.

“The kids have turned out so well. They are good, smart kids. They are polite and caring,” swooned the doting dad.
When speaking about Jack specifically, Johnny described him as a talented visual artist and musician. “My boy Jack has always been a very talented draftsman. He draws really super-well. He also plays music very well. He’s got a good feel for that,” revealed the proud dad.

Similar to how Johnny Depp shared some details about Jack Depp, the young man’s older sister has also shared some words about him, giving the public glimpses into their sweet sibling bond.
“My brother and I were obsessed with Abbott and Costello as kids,” shared Lily-Rose, referring to the comedy duo’s famous “Meet the Monsters” series.
“We particularly were drawn to the ‘Meet Dracula’ one, the ‘Bela Lugosi,’ and my brother was like three or four at the time and he started dressing up like Dracula and doing these kind of like really serious line readings of the lines,” disclosed the big sister.
Lily-Rose then joked about how, essentially, she “grew up as [an] older sister to Dracula,” describing how her younger brother fully immersed himself in the character.
She also shared that Jack had already seen the film and approved of her performance. “He saw the movie; he loved the movie,” stated Lily-Rose.
To mark the milestone, Lily-Rose shared a heartfelt tribute, which included two photos. An image showed Jack in his late teens, lounging casually in a chair outside. He was pictured sitting shirtless in the sunshine, wearing navy blue shorts and a pair of dark sunglasses.

Alongside the images, Lily-Rose penned a touching caption that reflected her adoration for her younger brother. “My little baby Jackie is 18🥺 My baby bro my heart and soul happy birthday I love you SO MUCH!” she wrote.

In another post that Lily-Rose shared, the close siblings were seen celebrating Christmas with their aunt, Alysson Paradis — an actress and the younger sister of their famous mother, Vanessa. In the photo, the trio is gathered on the floor, smiling as they pose for the camera with Jack holding onto an energetic pug.
“Christmas with JiJi @alyssonparadis,” captioned Lily-Rose, referencing the affectionate nickname she uses for her aunt.
