Fears for Johnny Depp as he slurs words at Murder On The Orient Express premiere and has to be 'supported by security guard'

Fans are concerned after the star rocked up seemingly worse for wear

Johnny Depp has had a rough trot over the past couple years when it comes to his personal life - following a the death of his mother and a messy split from Amber Heard.

But fans are worried that he may have gone back to his hard-partying ways of the early 90s, with the 54-year-old actor appearing to be worse for wear at the of Murder On The Orient Express premiere in London on Thursday.

In photos taken at the event at the Royal Albert Hall, it appeared the Hollywood stalwart was being aided by security as he made his way down the red carpet and past adoring fans.

Then in an interview with Lorraine Kelly, the actor seemed to slur his words and find difficulty in putting together his answers. At one stage he even seemed to forget the name of his co-star (and the film's director) Kenneth Branagh.

Wearing a black tuxedo, with a loose bow-tie, he had his hair slicked back and looked to be sporting the same old-school, 20s moustache that's part of his MOTOE costume.

While his co-stars Dame Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz and Sir Kenneth all took part in press obligations as they spruiked their new film, Johnny reportedly shunned all press.

He also reportedly skipped out of the movie's after-party, too.

According to The Sun , Johnny had spent the previous night partying at infamous London club The Box.

A source told the publication: "Johnny was having big old night and was told off for smoking three times while inside.

“He was annoyed people were staring at him too."

It comes after Johnny's appearance on The Graham Norton Show this week set tongues wagging as people took to Twitter to ask what was going on with the star.

One said: "Johnny Depp makes for uncomfortable viewing, drunk, incoherent and a sad departure from the icon I used to love as a 90s kid."

Another added: "I can't tell if Johnny Depp is drunk or not. Surely no one sober can that *that* slowly."

However one thought he looked great, commenting "Johnny Depp's been in such great shape ever since a year ago, and he was so relaxed om this interview I'm so proud of him."

Mirror Online contacted Johnny Depp's representatives for comment.
