Johnny Depp, who has been away from the cinema world for years for allegedly committing violence to his ex-wife Amber Heard, testified in the defamation lawsuit he filed against Heard yesterday. Depp, who defended himself by saying “I never hit a woman” and stated that Heard denied, came up with a statement that would upset his fans at the same time.
Johnny Depp, who is engraved in our minds with the character of Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, announced that he would refuse if Disney offered him a return to the series. Depp answered the question Amber Heard’s lawyer asked him in the courtroom:
Depp will never be Jack Sparrow again:
- I Rottenborn (Amber Heard’s attorney): “The truth is, Mr. Depp, if Disney came to you with $300 million and a million alpacas, wouldn’t anything in this world have you come back and be in a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movie with Disney?”
- Johnny Depp: “Yeah that’s right Mr. Rottenborn.”
The reason Disney was spoken in the courtroom was because Disney canceled the Pirates of the Caribbean series after allegations against Depp. But Lawyer Rottenborn was trying to prove in the hall that this decision was made even before the allegations against Depp. The lawyer showed a letter dated October 25, 2018, indicating that Depp could no longer be Jack Sparrow, to which Depp said, “I didn’t know that.” had made a statement.
The Disney issue is crucial for Depp to win the defamation lawsuit against Heard accusing Heard of ruining his career, life and reputation. To win the lawsuit, Depp must prove that Disney’s decision was the direct result of Heard’s allegations.
