Each and Every NFT is inspired from the high-resolution physical edition, which will be only allowed to be redeemed once.
In a statement, Depp said: “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.”
The NFT holders will get access to Johnny Depp’s community on the Discord channel. Out of total NFTs, 10,000 NFTs will be available for sale on the official website, Never Fear Truth. The remaining 1,111 NFTs Johnny Depp will distribute to fans and charities who supported him.
Currently, the NFT trend is at its peak, hence many celebrities and the fashion world are diving into it to create opportunities for their fans. Recently, Oscar winner director and filmmaker Quentin Tarantino revealed his NFT collection “Pulp Fiction.”
Recently, Paris Hilton also surprised everyone in Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon by gifting NFTs to the audience and host.
