Can anyone imagine Hollywood without Johnny Depp? The 60-year-old star has entertained us with blockbusters like Pirates Of The Caribbean, Fantastic Beasts, and Edward Scissorhands, among many others. He was at the peak of his career, but everything changed after domestic violence allegations by ex-wife Amber Heard. JD once broke his silence about the immense negativity around him. Below is what he had to say!
In May 2016, Amber Heard filed for divorce from Johnny and accused him of physical abuse. The Aquaman 2 actress even gained a restraining order against her ex-husband.
She claimed to be a survivor of domestic abuse in an op-ed written in The Washington Post in 2018. Depp filed a defamation suit and won the Virginia trial that took place in 2022.
Johnny Depp faced a boycott in Hollywood!
Johnny Depp may have won the $50 million defamation suit against Amber Heard, but one cannot forget the massive hate he received online.
Disney reportedly ousted him from Pirates Of The Caribbean 6 to avoid any kind of negativity.
He even shot for a day for Fantastic Beasts 3 but had to exit the project after losing the UK trial against The Sun in 2020.
To sum up, Johnny Depp faced a boycott from Hollywood, although he wasn’t even proven guilty in court then.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star reacted to the negativity written about him in a conversation with Deadline.
He said, “In regards to me and my life, the majority of what you’ve read is fantastically horrifically written fiction.”
Depp refused to call Jeanne du Barry his “comeback” film
It was reported by multiple outlets that Depp made his comeback in Hollywood with the French film Jeanne du Barry.
However, the actor disagreed with the statement. “They’re using it as a kind of catchphrase. ‘The guy’s making a comeback.’ I’ve had about 17 comebacks by the way, apparently,” he reacted.
Is Johnny Depp returning for Pirates Of The Caribbean 6?
For a while now, there has been suspense around Johnny’s inclusion in Pirates Of The Caribbean. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer recently broke his silence and left fans disappointed with his statements.
He said that the franchise will be witnessing a reboot, and they’re doing it to avoid waiting for any actor. His remark seemingly hinted that Johnny Depp has refused their offer to return to the franchise.
It isn’t even yet confirmed if Disney really even approached Depp but earlier rumors claimed he was offered a whopping sum of $301 million to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.
