Amber Heard ‘has quit Hollywood’ after Johnny Depp battle: report

Johnny Depp swapped Cannes for London on Monday when he took to the stage to celebrate his late friend Jeff Beck at the Royal Albert Hall. Last week, the 59-year-old actor opened Cannes Film Festival with his film Jeanne du Barry but last night was in full musician mode while honouring Beck at the tribute show, who died ‘suddenly’ in January after contracting bacterial meningitis aged 78. Taking to the stage in a white shirt, hat, and sunglasses, Oscar-nominated Depp even addressed those in the audience directly as they cheered him on, telling them: ‘Bless your hearts, this is a beautiful turnout for Mr Jeff.

Amber Heard is enjoying her time in Spain. The actress was all smiles in Madrid last Thursday, doing some shopping and posing for selfies with her fans, even taking the time to have casual conversations with the locals.The ‘Aquaman’ star had reportedly quit the film industry and decided to move to Madrid with her 2-year-old daughter Oonagh. During her recent outing, Amber wore a casual outfit, including black pants and a matching jacket and T-shirt.

In 2019, Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation, after Heard wrote an article published in the Washington Post in which she referred to herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse”. In 2020, the actor lost a separate libel case in the UK against the Sun, which had called him a “wife beater” in print. The US defamation hearing took place in 2022 in Virginia, and the jury ruled that Depp had been defamed by Heard.

A man who sued a British newspaper for calling him a ‘wife beater’, but lost his libel case after the judge found the article ‘substantially true’.

Just a year ago, the image of Johnny Depp smiling and waving atop the Palais steps at the Cannes Film Festival would have been unthinkable to most — including to Depp, himself.

Johnny Depp returns to cinemas this year for the first time since 2020 in his new historical-fiction movie Jeanne du Barry. However, the former Pirates of the Caribbean star was supposed to hit silver screens a lot sooner than that in the 2022 Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. Depp played the villain Gellert Grindelwald in the first film in the series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and reprised his role in the follow-up, The Crimes of Grindelwald.

Johnny Depp is opening up about his return to the big screen after facing a “boycott” for three years.

Those in Amber Heard‘s camp are not at all happy about Johnny Depp making his entertainment industry comeback this week at the Cannes Film Festival.

Johnny Depp is returning to the big screens after his high-profile legal case against ex-wife Amber Heard. During a recent press conference for his new movie Jeanne Du Barry at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, the 59-year-old actor revealed he did feel “boycotted” by Hollywood when many companies canceled him.“You’d have to not have a pulse at that point to feel like, ‘No, none of this is happening. This is actually just a weird joke,’” said Depp during the event.

The 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival kicks off this evening with a stacked two-week lineup of celebrated auteurs and Hollywood star power along with all the usual provocative characters.

Everything’s coming up Lily-Rose Depp! In addition to her skyrocketing career, the Idol star has also had her fair share of A-list relationships.

Johnny Depp’s once white-hot career has flamed out in the wake of his many scandals, but the controversial actor has every reason to expect a movie star welcome when he hits Cannes on Tuesday for the premiere of “Jeanne du Barry.” The costume drama is Depp’s first leading role in three years, a period of time in which the star has mostly made headlines for his ongoing legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard (he lost a 2020 libel case involving her abuse allegations in the U.K., only to win another one in the U.S. in 2022). But through that tempestuous period, one that saw Depp fired from high-profile projects like the “Harry Potter” spinoff franchise “Fantastic Beasts,” Europe has remained a port in the storm. He has continued to be celebrated at film festivals throughout the continent with audiences loyally showing up to see the movies he has managed to make in between tabloid appearances. For its part, Cannes has pushed back at suggestions that it shouldn’t be offering Depp a platform given Heard’s accusations of abuse. The festival’s chief Thierry Fremaux framed showcasing “Jeanne du Barry” as a matter of free expression.
