Recently, we have seen a lot of debate around Amber Heard and her movie 'Aquaman' co-starring Jason Momoa. From Internet backlash to Heard's claiming that her role in 'Aquaman 2' was cut down significantly due to Johnny Depp and then the agent claimingthat her ''lack of chemistry" between her and Jason was the actual reason.

Responding to Amber's claim that he got the role on her own, the actor told the court and everyone who was present there, “It’s not exactly true.” further he added that he had made some phone calls for Amber.

"She asked if I would — I had a multi-film deal with Warner Bros., so we'd been in business together, so I knew these people — speak to them," Depp said, via EW. "I made a phone call, and I spoke to three upper echelon Warner executives: Kevin Tsujihara, Sue Kroll, Greg Silverman."

Back then, Amber was concerned about the movie shoot location in Australia, where she has gotten into legal trouble for taking her pets illegally into the country and looking at the case, she thought producers could take this point seriously.

"I can only say that ultimately, she did get the job in the film. I curbed their worries to some degree," Amber added.
