We would say that this is the first bad picture we've seen of Johnny Depp -- whose inhuman ability to look good is, we're beginning to suspect, diabolic in origin -- but a little research indicates that this is not the first time that he's wound up on the cover of Esquire magazine looking less-than-excellent.
So, we gotta ask: what is up with that, Esquire? Letting Depp wear his own zoot suit on the May '04 cover wasn't enough?

Or maybe you secretly hate him? Whatever the case is, get over it, because making Johnny Depp look bad on your cover isn't exactly a badge of honor.
