Johnny Depp surprised everyone Wednesday night by showing up to the accept the award for favorite movie icon at the People’s Choice Awards.

Depp has had a rough few months dealing with his acrimonious divorce from Amber Heard, which was finalized last week.

Now, Depp appears to be making a transition back into the public eye-one he started with a humble acceptance speech.

The audience cheered loudly, shouting “I love you!” while Depp clutched the three safety pins he had in his left ear.

“Give ’em hell, Betty Sue,” Depp said before he walked off-a tribute to his mother, with whom he was very close.

She died in May, and, according to Depp, “She was a hellcat.”
