Johnny Depp reflected on his personal life being showcased in front of the public eye. During the promotion of his latest directorial venture, Modi – Three Days on the Wings of Madness, at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain, the actor noted similarities between him and the film’s character, Amedeo Modigliani. For instance, Depp and his character went through immense hardships in their life among which he indirectly addressed his highly publicized legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard. On September 24, The Hollywood Reporter disclosed the details of the press conference. Let’s dig into the complete details of this story.
Johnny Depp addressed the number of things he has been through in the last years
As per the outlet, the Pirates of the Caribbean star said, “Each has their story. Sure, we can say that I’ve been through a number of things here and there. But, you know, I’m alright.”
Later on, he acknowledged that others have “been through a number of things” as well, but joked seemingly a reference to his and Amber’s 2022 defamation trial, “Maybe yours wasn’t—didn’t turn into a soap opera. Televised, in fact.” The defamation trial has been live-streamed each day.
Moreover, the actor who shares daughter Lily-Rose, 25, and son Jack, 22, with ex Vanessa Paradis continues, “We all experience and go through what we go through. And those things that we are able to live and remember and use, these are your stripes. You never forget them. So to see these people all teetering on the verge of earning their stripes, desperate to speak but unable to, in a way.”
This is first time the 61-year-old referred anything about the 2022 July trial in which he was awarded $10.4 million in total damages since Amber was found guilty for defaming Johnny for a 2018 Washington Post essay.
The 38-year-old referred to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse” by indirectly taking a gig towards her ex-husband. Meanwhile, The Aquaman is also awarded $2 million for the compensatory damages.
Amber with her 3-year-old daughter Oonagh is out of the limelight ever since the verdict has been released.
At that time when Depp filed the lawsuit against her she announced to settle the matter on Instagram, writing, “It’s important for me to say I never chose this. I defended my truth and in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed. I make this decision having lost faith in the American legal system, where my unprotected testimony served as entertainment and social media fodder.”
