As the world reels from allegations that Johnny Depp beat his wife Amber Heard, Twitter users have turned their attention to the actor's recent Dior fragrance campaign.

In it the 52-year-old Pirates Of The Caribbean star broodily rolls up his sleeves, with the name of the perfume, Sauvage, emblazoned over the top - which translates to 'wild' in French.

However as the stars marital problems dominate headlines with 30-year-old Heard accusing her husband of domestic violence, people have commented on the campaign shots looking 'a bit dodgy' and being 'poorly timed'.

The advertisement for Dior's Savage, above, in which Depp gives a moody look to camera, has run on television and online

Social media users are drawing comparisons between Johnny Depp's alleged beating of his wife Amber Heard, and his appearance in the fragrance campaign (pictured in LA this January)

The campaign, which launched a year ago, included a video which saw the actor driving a vintage Dodge Charger at speed through the desert, surround by swooping eagles and prowling wolves.

The advertisement, in which Depp gives a moody look to camera, has run on television and online, as well as gracing billboards.

Twitter user Graham, who uses the handle @HallowGham, wrote: 'Johnny Depp rolling up his sleeves for a fragrance called Sauvage looks a bit dodgy, given current events.'

Twitter users have commented on the images from the campaign, which was announced by the LMVH owned company last June, and called it 'a bit dodgy' and 'a bad idea'

Johnny Depp's estranged wife Amber Heard appeared to have a bruised eye and cut lip in new pictures that first appeared in People magazine recently, above, which she claimed were the result of his abuse

Another, who uses the name Werewolf Bat Mitzvah, wrote: 'Anyone good enough friends with Dior to quietly mention pictures of Johhny Depp with SAUVAGE printed across them might be a bad idea just now.' [sic]

Caitlyn Davey tweeted: 'Is anyone else finding it awkward that #JohnnyDepp is the face of Dior's 'Sauvage'? It's all a bit poorly timed.'

Pictures of his estranged wife, with what appeared to be a bruised eye and cut lip, were published in People magazine - with her claiming the injuries were a result of his abuse.

The actress also said she 'truly feared for her life' during an incident in December 2015, according to her court filing.

Heard, who has filed for divorce after 15 months of marriage, has been granted a temporary restraining order against the Hollywood star.

James Crisp said: 'At an airport. Just saw a big advert for Dior's aftershave Sauvage...starring Johnny Depp. Seems v apt.'

El Luis wrote: 'No surprises with Johnny Depp beating Amber Heard. Dior knew he was a Sauvage. At least he didn't use the shovel LOL.'

Part of the television advert for the fragrance sees the actor carrying a spade over one shoulder.

@Balloutboy305 wrote: 'Domestic violence isn't funny but Johnny Depp is a sauvage.......lmao (laughing my a** off)' while The Tailgate Times tweeted: 'Yeah Johnny Depp is a "sauvage" to say the least.'

Gareth C said: 'Ha. Johnny Depp "Sauvage"...too right.'

In Amber Heard's application for her restraining order she claims her husband was verbally and physically abusive to her for the 'entirety' of their four-year-relationship.

However Depp's divorce lawyer Laura Wasser said in court documents that Heard was 'attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse'.

Heard has already claimed that Depp argued with her on April 21 after showing up at the end of her 30th birthday party 'inebriated and high'.

She then went on to say that he grabbed her by the hair and 'violently shoved me to the floor'.

She also alleges that he threw a mobile phone at her, 'striking my cheek and eye with great force' during an altercation on May 21 - when he 'began obsessing about something that was untrue'.

Los Angeles police have said they responded to that incident, but found no evidence of a crime.

Heard's lawyers said she did not initially give a statement to police because she was trying to protect her privacy and Depp's reputation career.

Dior has been contacted by MailOnline but declined to comment.
