Ibrahim Ali Khan reveals he’s trying to look like Johnny Depp: “But I can try”

Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, recently confessed that he’s trying to emulate the iconic Hollywood actor Johnny Depp. In a playful yet sincere social media post, the young star-in-the-making shared a glimpse of his admiration for Depp’s signature style and enigmatic personality.

On Friday, Ibrahim took to Instagram stories and uploaded a side-by-side comparison of two pictures—one of Johnny Depp holding a glass, and the other, a nearly identical recreation by Ibrahim himself. The first image had the caption, “I just wanna look like Johnny… but I can’t.” In his own version, Ibrahim wrote, “But I can try.” The witty yet humble post won fans over for both its humor and honesty.

The article from Times of India highlights that Ibrahim is clearly inspired by Depp’s magnetic presence. “Johnny Depp’s unique personality and style have inspired him,” the article stated, explaining how Ibrahim is drawn to Depp’s “distinctive look, charm, and versatility.”

Depp, known globally for his intense screen presence and diverse roles, is hailed as one of Hollywood’s most handsome and stylish actors. From Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean to Edward Scissorhands, his ability to embody varied characters has earned him a devoted fan base. As the article describes, “With his chiseled features, intense gaze, and effortlessly cool style, Depp has captivated audiences for decades.”

Interestingly, Ibrahim’s admiration for Depp seems more than surface-level. While he already has a strong fan following in India due to his lineage and looks, this gesture shows a deeper appreciation for global cinema. The article also notes, “With just one film to his credit, Ibrahim Ali Khan has already begun making waves in the fashion world,” referencing his recent appearance as a showstopper for designers Shantanu and Nikhil at Lakme Fashion Week.

While Ibrahim resembles his father Saif Ali Khan in charm and facial structure, he’s clearly carving a niche of his own, drawing inspiration from global icons while maintaining his youthful flair. Whether he ends up looking like Depp or not, the attempt itself reveals a fun, self-aware, and ambitious side to the star kid—something that audiences may find refreshing in an industry often obsessed with perfection.
