Brian Cox regrets calling Johnny Depp “overrated”: “I was being a bit harsh”

Johnny Depp was accused of being a "wife-beater" to his ex-wife Amber Heard by a British publication back in 2018. The court case went to trial in 2020, where the claims were deemed "substantially true". Since then, the Pirates of the Caribbean star has been shunned from the film industry while he works through a continuing defamation case.

Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead took first place in the inaugural #OscarsFanFavorite contest, put on by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to showcase more popular movies and announced Sunday during the Oscar telecast.

Johnny Depp, 58, is getting ready to face off in court against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, 35 — who he’s suing for $50 million in a defamation lawsuit that claims that Amber “destroyed” his career by penning an article in The Washington Post in 2018 about being a survivor of “sexual violence.” In court documents obtained by HollywoodLife, the jilted exes listed in their Exhibit List a text message conversation from 2013 between Johnny and his friend, actor Paul Bettany, 50. In the texts, the two actors discuss “drowning” Amber to ensure that she is “not a witch” — and their private messages are now set to be read out loud during the trial. The trial set to begin on April 11, 2022, in Fairfax County, Virginia.
