Johnny Depp Calls comments on falling in love with Amber Heard, legal stand-off
Hollywood star
Johnny Depp
is talking about his relationship with ex-wife
Amber Heard
. The actor recollected what went down and the subsequent defamation case against her, over three years after a verdict was reached.
The actor, 62, recalled how past relationships in his life shaped his views on "love", and how that, in turn, affected his relationship with the actress, 39, reports 'People' magazine.
He told 'The Sunday Times', "So, what were my initial dealings with what we call 'love?' Clearly obtuse. And what that means is, if you're a s***** like I am, sometimes you look in a person's eye and see some sadness, some lonely thing and you feel you can help that person".
As per 'People', the pair met in 2011 and then wed in 2015, but they called it quits a little over a year later, before their divorce led to court battles in the years to follow.
He further mentioned, "But no good deed goes unpunished, because there are those who, when you try to love and help them, will start to give you an understanding of what that malaise, that perturbance was in their eyes. It manifests itself in other ways.

When Heard and Depp split in 2016, the Aquaman actress cited irreconcilable differences in a petition for divorce, and she filed a temporary restraining order against her spouse amid allegations of domestic violence.
Johnny Depp and Heard reached a $7 million divorce settlement that August, but in March 2019, Depp sued his ex-wife for defamation over a 2018 op-ed she penned for the 'Washington Post'. In it, Heard detailed discrimination she said she faced in the wake of her domestic abuse allegations against Depp to "ensure that women who come forward to talk about violence receive more support". In November 2020, Depp lost his highly publicized U.K.
libel lawsuit case against British tabloid 'The Sun' for calling him a "wife-beater".

Exclusive - Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain actress Shubhangi Atre: The industry will continue to change, it's a bit scary
Actress Shubhangi Atre, who is known for her show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, says that the industry has grown by leaps and bounds, and the modes of entertainment are going to continue to evolve. She adds that this can get a little overwhelming at times. 'The industry has already changed a lot, especially after COVID. The work culture and budgeting have changed. And in the next five years, with artificial intelligence growing, I feel things will change even more. It's a bit scary honestly. But I still believe that content is king. If you create good content, it will always work. Today people are very stressed in life, and entertainment gives them a little break from that. Music and entertainment offer relief, so we should focus on creating good content,' she says. Ask her what changes she wants to see, and she says, 'The content on TV is still a bit regressive, and that bothers me. We can definitely make more progressive shows. Second, I feel TV actors don't get the respect they deserve. People often don't take TV actors seriously. There's a perception that TV actors are overexposed or not as good. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

The mindset towards TV actors needs to change.' Meanwhile, she says that the cut-throat nature of the industry is one thing that will not change. 'Competition is very real. Sometimes people don't want to do certain roles, or they leave projects. That's their personal choice, and I respect that. But if someone is more committed, more disciplined, or more eager to work, then yes, they will get opportunities. That's what we call survival of the fittest. I just believe don't snatch work from someone, but if they don't want to do it and you can, there's no harm. Life goes on. Nothing is irreplaceable. And stardom is very temporary. We are just like passing faces on a screen. What truly matters is how well we perform and how much people connect with us,' she says.

Three years after defamation trial, actor Johnny Depp opens up about falling in love with ex-wife Amber Heard
More than three years after the high-profile defamation trial that dominated headlines worldwide, Johnny Depp finally offered a deeper, more personal perspective on what he went through. In an interview with The Sunday Times, the 62-year-old actor opened up about his emotional evolution. The star shared how his experiences shaped his outlook on love, and why he chose to fight back publicly against allegations made by his ex-wife, Amber Heard. 'So, what were my initial dealings with what we call 'love?'' Depp asked. 'Clearly obtuse.' Johnny Depp revealed that before meeting Amber Heard, now 39, his understanding of love came from a place of wanting to fix what is bad in others' lives. 'And what that means is, if you're a sucker like I am, sometimes you look in a person's eye and see some sadness, some lonely thing and you feel you can help that person,' he said. 'But no good deed goes unpunished, because there are those who, when you try to love and help them, will start to give you an understanding of what that malaise, that perturbance was in their eyes. It manifests itself in other ways,' Depp added. Calling that chapter 'merely a sliver' of his life, the star made it clear he is choosing now to reflect rather than relive. As per a Geo TV report, Depp and Heard met on the set of 'The Rum Diary' in 2011, married in 2015 and split the following year under turbulent circumstances. The divorce was finalised in 2016 with a $7 million settlement, but the legal battles did not end there. In 2019, Depp sued Heard for defamation following her 2018 Washington Post op-ed. The lawsuit led to a highly public trial that saw both stars testifying in detail. The jury eventually awarded Depp $10.35 million in damages, while ordering him to pay Heard $2 million over a counterclaim. A final settlement in December 2022 saw Heard agreeing to pay Depp $1 million, which he pledged to donate to charity. Explaining his decision to go forward with the trial, Depp said, 'Look, it had gone far enough. I knew I'd have to semi-eviscerate myself. Everyone was saying, 'It'll go away!' But I can't trust that. What will go away? The fiction pawned around the f**** globe? No, it won't." He emphasised that clearing his name was not just about him – it was about protecting his children, Lily-Rose and Jack from the weight of accusations he says were false. FYI: Depp shares his kids with former partner Vanessa Paradis. 'If I don't try to represent the truth, it will be like I've actually committed the acts I am accused of. And my kids will have to live with it. Their kids. Kids that I've met in hospitals,' Depp said, explaining the emotional responsibility he felt. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard met on the set of 'The Rum Diary' in 2011 and got married in 2015. Amber Heard has a total of three children. Her oldest daughter, Oonagh Paige, was born in April 2021. On Mother's Day 2025, Heard announced the arrival of twins: daughter Agnes and son Ocean. Amber Heard has a net worth of $500 thousand, as per Celebrity Net Worth.
