On the fifth day of the trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp returned to the future of his acting career. He notably mentioned his role in Pirates of the Caribbean, that of the mythical Jack Sparrow.
Johnny Depp will he ever return to Pirates of the Caribbean ? As the lawsuit continues between the actor and Amber Heard, who accuse each other of defamation, the American comedian spoke about his future, and his film career compromised by this court case. He notably mentioned his role as Jack Sparrow, a cult character in the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, which he played for almost 20 years.
During the second day of his testimony before the Fairfax court, this Wednesday, April 20, Johnny Depp claimed that the media coverage of the accusations of violence made by his ex-wife Amber Heard in a column published in the washington post in 2018, would have, according to him, put a stop to his career. “From the second these allegations were made against me, my career was over.. Whatever the outcome of this trial, I will wear this for the rest of my life…“, he explained.
Indeed, since these revelations, Johnny Depp has lost important roles, such as that of Gellert Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts 3. Questioned by his own lawyer, the American star also claimed that Disney had decided to dismiss him from the sixth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean a few days after the publication of the tribune. “It didn’t take long for Disney to decide to pull me out of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise”he continued.
Johnny Depp: ‘Disney was trying to sever all ties with me’
But Amber Heard’s lawyer, Ben Rottenborn, based on a Daily Mail paper from October 2018, then told her that Disney did not intend to rehire him for the next installment of Pirates of the Caribbean even before Amber Heard’s article was published.”I wasn’t aware of this, but it doesn’t surprise me“, reacted Johnny Depp, before adding: “For two years I was constantly talked about around the world as someone who beat women. So I’m sure Disney was quick to sever all ties with me to be quiet. The #MeToo movement was in full swing at that time.”
Johnny Depp also took the opportunity to confirm that, in any case, he had no intention of working for the franchise again Pirates of the Caribbean if Disney offered it to him.”Mr. Depp, if Disney came to you with $300 million, nothing on this earth would make you come back and work with them on a Pirates of the Caribbean movie, would it?”, asked lawyer Ben Rottenborn. “It’s true, Mr. Rottenborn“, then answered Johnny Depp. For the moment Pirates of the Caribbean 6is planned by Disney but it would currently be “suspended“, according to Johnny Depp.
