<p>“I never watched a moment of the trials. It was so blown out of proportion. It was such a Hollywood thing.

<p>“If you talk to Johnny about it, it was something that happened. He was just like, ‘Yeah, yeah, what’s the next song?’ … I don’t know why they would televise the proceedings, right? It’s because of the fame of both people," he added.</p>

<p>The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial of last year gained headlines not just because of the amount of celebrity involved, but also because of the dirty details of the contentious marriage that came to light, including the present of faeces on the bed that was either deposited by a pet or a human.

The result was a lot of trivialising of what should have been considered a serious issue.</p>

<p>Depp was the winner of the trial, which was held at Fairfax, Virginia.

While she had not named him, Depp filed for defamation anyway.</p>

<p>The trial ended with Depp being awarded $10 million in damages. Heard was awarded $2 million in damages as well for being "defamed" by Heard's lawyer who had accused her of creating a hoax. Heard has repeatedly accused Depp of physical and mental violence, which Depp has denied.</p>

Johnny Depp, Amber Heard's defamation trial to be adapted into a film

<p>After a US jury largely sided with Johnny Depp in his libel battle against Amber Heard, could the verdict help the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star to resurrect his flagging career?</p>

<p>A jubilant Depp on Wednesday said the jury "gave me my life back" as he was awarded more than $10 million in damages for defamation, in contrast to just $2 million for his ex-wife, who had counter-sued.</p>

<p>Central to the high-profile trial were testimonies from Hollywood agents, accountants and lawyers, who were asked to assess whether the former couple had derailed one another's careers.</p>

<p>Jurors heard from Depp's side that he had lost a $22.5 million payday for a sixth "Pirates" film due to Heard's claims of abuse.</p>

<p>But Heard's legal team introduced witnesses who said her ex-husband's star was already losing its luster due to "unprofessional behavior" which included drinking and drug use.</p>

<p>"The damage that's done is done, and from this it might start a process back to some sort of normalcy," said a Hollywood producer who has worked with Depp in the past, but asked not to be identified.</p>

<p>"It's too risky to put a guy like that into billion-dollar franchises now," they said.</p>

<p>Similarly, while jurors and social media opinion may have swayed in Depp's direction during the trial, that is no guarantor that his box office appeal will return, particularly among women.</p>

<p>"The things he said are vile," said the producer, pointing to text messages introduced during the trial, which featured Depp calling Heard an "idiot cow" and talking about her "rotting corpse." &nbsp;</p>

<p>- 'Bad boy' -</p>

<p>Of course, while not directly comparable, Hollywood titans from Marlon Brando to Mel Gibson have enjoyed massive box office success after seismic controversies.</p>

Can Johnny Depp's career bounce back with defamation verdict?

<p>Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's case is one of the most bizarre cases we have seen in recent years.&nbsp;We all have witnessed some bombshell revelations that the couple made during the hearing at Virginia's Fairfax County Court. 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 claiming&nbsp;that her ''lack of chemistry" between her and Jason was the actual reason.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Wednesday, Depp took the stand at the court and claimed that he was the one who got Amber the role in the DC movie, which also happens to be the biggest role of her acting career.</p>

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.<br />
<br />
"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."<br />
<br />
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.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I can only say that ultimately, she did get the job in the film. I curbed their worries to some degree," Amber added.&nbsp;</p>

Johnny Depp was financially broke and had anger issues, actor's former agent reveals

<p>Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s $100 million legal battle will now have celebrities as witnesses as it takes a rather more serious turn. These celebrities include the likes of Elon Musk, Hollywood people like Paul Bettany, James Franco among others.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The trial will begin in April.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ahead of the trial, TMX reported the official names that will act as witnesses. There will also be representatives of the Walt Disney Co., and Warner Bros.</p>

<p>There will also be friends, family, lawyers and other associates of the two actors who were once married. They were briefly married and went their separate ways after a long tussle and lots of alimony involved.</p>

Dior is under fire after airing a cologne commercial starring Johnny Depp. A Dior ad for its Sauvage fragrance, which stars Depp playing an electric guitar, was shown during an episode of 'The Great British Bake Off' that aired Tuesday in the UK. A spokesperson for the Advertising Standards Authority, a body responsible for regulating ads in the UK, told The Guardian that after Depp's Dior ad was aired on Tuesday, it received 11 complaints from viewers that were all related to Depp's presence in the commercial. "We have received a total of 11 complaints about this ad, with the complainants believing that Johnny Depp shouldn't be in the ad due to details concerning his recent court case," a spokesperson for the Advertising Standards Authority said. Depp has been the face of the French luxury brand's cologne since 2015 and has starred in a number of ad spots for the Dior fragrance line. The actor came under scrutiny the next year when actress Amber Heard filed for divorce in and alleged Depp had physically abused her throughout their relationship. Depp denied the allegations and their divorce was finalized in 2017. While the advertisement garnered criticism from some, fans of the actor took to Twitter to share a #JusticeForJohnnyDepp hashtag and applaud Dior for not appearing to drop the actor from the campaign. On November 2, it was announced that Johnny Depp lost his libel case against the publishers of the UK newspaper The Sun over a 2018 article that described him as a "wife beater." Soon after he was dropped from his 'Fantastic Beasts' role as Grindelwald. Also read: UK court denies Johnny Depp permission to appeal against libel case judgement The Sun cited Heard's allegations that Depp had assaulted her 14 times, and Heard said that the abuse was heavily influenced by the actor's drug and alcohol use, according to the Associated Press. Following the announcement of the verdict of Depp's case, the actor wrote in a typed, which that he shared on Instagram, that he was asked by Warner Bros. to resign from his role as the villain of the "Fantastic Beasts" franchise. Actor Mads Mikkelson will replace Depp in the forthcoming 'Fantastic Beasts 3.'
