The insider added that the Edward Scissorhands lead recently became "hyper aware of how certain parts of his body are falling apart and now he’s mapping out a health plan."

"He wants to build up muscle too and maybe some nip/tucks and why not? He’s finally going to do something about that pot belly, not to mention investing in some beauty rituals to polish his skin and hair and general appearance," they noted.

"Sure, we can say that I’ve been through a number of things here and there, but I’m alright," Depp explained. "I think we’ve all been through a number of things, ultimately… Maybe yours didn’t turn into a soap opera, televised in fact, but we all experience and go through what we go through."

Though the movie star didn't elaborate, many believe he was referring to his tumultuous court case against ex-wife Amber Heard. Oddly enough, the Aquaman actress, 38, and her daughter Oonagh Paige, 3, currently live in Madrid, Spain, as Heard moved there to escape the backlash she endured after their legal battle.

In the end, Depp won his defamation case against her after she claimed he physically and sexually abused her. However, she won her countersuit, as her ex-husband was found reliable for defamation due to comments his lawyer made about the mom-of-one.

After the verdict was read, Heard stated, "The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence and sway of my ex-husband."

In Touch Weekly reported on why Depp got new teeth.
