After 5 years since the loudest breakup in Hollywood history, the legal battle between the Pirates of the Caribbean actor and his scandalous wife Amber Heard has still not ended, leading to damage to reputation and business. good for both…

2022 marks the third year of post-divorce litigation between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. The incident began in March 2019, when Johnny Depp filed a defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard and sought $50 million in compensation after the Washington Post published an editorial about his experience as a victim of domestic violence. Written by the actress.

“Ms. Heard is not a victim of domestic violence. She is the perpetrator,” Depp stated in his 2019 denunciation. At that time, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard had been divorced for several years. The beauty requested a restraining order and a settlement fee of $7 million from her ex-husband. However, Amber Heard then failed to transfer the lawsuit file to the California court and convince the judge to dismiss the petition. In September 2020, the beauty countersued her ex-husband and sued him in court to seek compensation of 100 million USD.

This incident greatly affected Johnny Depp’s career. The actor admitted that he was ostracized in the Hollywood world when he continuously lost many lucrative contracts because of lawsuits. Throughout his acting career, Johnny Depp has pocketed a huge film fortune, 3 Oscar nominations and countless awards. Movies starring the father of two have brought in more than $10 billion in sales, making him the third most expensive star in the world.

Since 2003,  Pirates of the Carribean has released 5 films and all have achieved “huge” revenue. The film series has grossed more than $4.5 billion in box office revenue worldwide. This is the 14th highest-grossing film series of all time. The U60 star was paid about more than 50 million USD for one movie part and his income after 5 Pirates of the Caribbean movies was 300 million USD.

Johnny Depp was once said to have a fortune of approximately $400 million, but according to Rolling Stone, the American actor’s real wealth is at $650 million. According to The Things, Depp also spent millions of dollars on his collection of guitars, works of art and movie memorabilia. The actor also purchased an $18 million yacht, which requires thousands of dollars in monthly maintenance.

But the noise from the divorce seriously damaged Johnny Depp’s image. In 2017, the actor was boycotted by the audience, demanding he withdraw from the  Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald project . A year later, the movie  City of Lies  starring Depp had to be canceled because of his scandals.

The role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series brought Johnny Depp a salary of 300 million USD.

After the darkest days of his career, Johnny Depp began to lift himself out of the quagmire. In March 2019, he filed a lawsuit against Amber Heard for defamation and fabrication and sought $50 million in compensation. This move caused the legal battle between the two sides to flare up again. Gradually, the advantage began to lean towards Johnny Depp when a while ago, a recording showed that Amber Heard was also the one cursing, fighting and beating her ex-husband.

Now, the whole of Hollywood is involved. The trial taking place this April will have the presence of James Franco, Paul Bettany, Elon Musk as well as representatives of Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. with Los Angeles Police as witnesses. In addition, private conversations between the two artists and many top Hollywood stars and movie industry tycoons will also be published.

Legal representatives from Warner Bros., Los Angeles Police, American Civil Liberties Union, Disney and WME Entertainment will provide the court with relevant business records for the trial. . The witness list of 38 people presented to court by Johnny Depp on March 14 included actor Paul Bettany. The Marvel Cinematic Universe star will provide testimony via live video.

Although the war with Amber Heard has not ended yet, new doors have begun to open for Johnny Depp. Express reported that in early March 2020, Disney began “green-lighting” part 6 of  Pirates of the Caribbean  and signaled that it wanted Depp to continue taking on the legendary role. At the end of February 2020, the father of two also had an impressive comeback at the Berlin International Film Festival with  Minamata , a film he starred in and also produced. The appearance of the 57-year-old actor once again made the work attract attention from music enthusiasts. He also received a series of positive comments about his acting during his return after all the turmoil.

Gradually, some units began to return to support the actor. In 2021, Johnny Depp was awarded the grand prize at the San Sebastian film festival in Spain. Soon after, he continued to appear in the advertising campaign for Dior fashion house Eau Sauvage Elixir. This proves that the French brand has no intention of discontinuing the contract with Johnny Depp as the face of the Eau Sauvage perfume line.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard appeared in court to continue their legal battle in recent days.

In early 2022, according to information from The Hollywood Reporter, Johnny Depp was chosen to play King Louis XV in an undisclosed film by French director Maiwenn. She is a famous director in Europe, having won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival with the film Polisse (2011). It is known that the film will be shot in the summer of 2022 in Paris with the main setting located at the Palace of Versailles. The public believes that this could be the next breakthrough role in Johnny Depp’s career, because Louis XV is a historical figure with a very special personality and fate.
