Amber Heard and Johnny Depp had one of the most talked about divorces in Hollywood history, and it\u2019s all thanks to their now-infamous court case. Now, while Amber, 39, tries her best to regain her footing in the movie business, Johnny, 61, has received a lucrative offer that is sure to put him back on the map.<\/p>\n
Since their highly publicised split, Amber sold her home in California and has been quietly living out of the spotlight in Spain with her four-year-old daughter, Oonagh, who she welcomed via surrogate in 2021. Now, she\u2019s ready to make her comeback\u2014but she\u2019s finding it difficult as she keeps coming up against a ton of people still loyal to her ex-husband.<\/p>\n
A source tells Closer, \u2018Amber reinvented herself in Spain and she\u2019s happy with her life there but wants to go the next step and make her own money on her own terms. However, it\u2019s raising eyebrows because she also wants to call the shots and be a producer like Johnny is, but it\u2019s not turning out the way she expected. For the first time since she was in her twenties, Amber is being assertive about her filmmaking future and demanding some real power.\u2019<\/p>\n
Amber and Johnny tied the knot in\u00a0February 2015 after almost three years of dating, but their relationship came to an end in May 2016 when Amber filed for divorce and accused Johnny of domestic violence.\u00a0Their divorce was finalised in 2017, and after Heard referred to herself as \u2018a public figure representing domestic abuse\u2019 in an op-ed published in the Washington Post, Depp sued his ex-wife for defamation. The Amber Heard vs. Johnny Depp trial lasted for\u00a0six long weeks, and it captured worldwide attention due to its revolving door of celebrity guests, dramatic testimonies, and the shocking verdict that sided with Depp. Heard was initially ordered to pay Depp $15million, but after negotiation this was whittled down to $1million, a sum the actor donated to various charities.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/imago259307001-scaled.jpg” alt=”Amber Heard” title_text=”Amber Heard ” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
Amber has since relocated to Spain<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
Johnny\u2019s career also took a hit following the trial, but he is currently filming an upcoming action thriller called Day Drinker<\/em> alongside Penelope Cruz and Madelyn Cline. As well as that, the actor\u2014who shares 25-year-old daughter Lily-Rose and 23-year-old son Jack with his ex-partner Vanessa Paradis, 52\u2014 has now been tipped to reprise one of his most iconic roles\u2014Jack Sparrow in the Pirate of the Caribbean<\/em> franchise.<\/p>\n An insider tells Closer, \u2018At the same time that Amber\u2019s struggling, Johnny coming back with this fantastic role in Day Drinker<\/em> and he\u2019s also rumoured to return to the Pirates<\/em>\u00a0franchise as well. Johnny himself is campaigning for it. It\u2019s different for Amber; he\u2019s being embraced while she\u2019s struggling and inevitably it\u2019s going to breed more ill feeling between them. They\u2019ll never forgive each other.\u2019<\/p>\n While Disney initially distanced themselves from Depp following his heated trial with Heard\u2014 they even asked him to resign from his role as Gellert Grindelwald in their Fantastic Beasts<\/em> franchise\u2014 it seems the tide has changed now that he\u2019s being eyed to reprise his role in the beloved Pirates of the Caribbean<\/em> franchise.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/imago812164491-scaled.jpg” alt=”Johnny Depp” title_text=”Johnny Depp” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Johnny has been cast in the upcoming action thriller, Day Drinker<\/em><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] A source tells Closer that Amber isn\u2019t taking the news too well, and it\u2019s brought back all kinds of horrible memories for her.<\/p>\n \u2018Amber is incredibly disheartened to see Johnny get this very obvious welcome back into the Hollywood in crowd, it\u2019s been a huge slap in the face after everything that transpired. In her view it\u2019s completely unfair and just more proof that men always have it easier than women. She was in such a good place and for a while it really seemed she\u2019d moved past the anger, but this has brought it all rushing back again. She can\u2019t help but feel like he\u2019s getting off way too easy, while somehow, she\u2019s the one being punished. It\u2019s certainly a very painful situation for her and it\u2019s bound to get even worse if he does sign on for Pirates<\/em> like everyone is saying will happen. That will mean his face will be everywhere again, there will be no escaping the reminders of him, even all the way in Spain.\u2019<\/p>\n However, the actress\u2014 who has worked in two projects since the trial, a film called In the Fire<\/em> and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom<\/em>\u2014won\u2019t give up on her Hollywood dreams just yet, even if Johnny continues to make a steady living in the film industry.<\/p>\n A source reports to Closer, \u2018Amber still has a lot she wants to accomplish, and she\u2019s vowed not going to let Johnny shut her out. Johnny is of course loving the way things have turned around. He\u2019s not just happy for himself, he\u2019s taking a lot of pleasure knowing that this is going to be crushing for Amber. He\u2019s still totally obsessed with the idea of making her pay a penance for nearly destroying him. Winning in court wasn\u2019t enough for him, he won\u2019t be happy until she\u2019s totally shut out of ever making a comeback. He\u2019s convinced she tried to ruin his life, so he doesn\u2019t see anything wrong with hanging onto the grudge.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts”
