Johnny Depp Addresses “Soap Opera” Media Frenzy of His and Amber Heard’s Legal Battle
Johnny Depp is reflecting on having aspects of his personal life play out in the public.
While promoting his latest directorial venture, Modi – Three Days on the Wings of Madness, at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain, the Pirates of the Caribbean star discussed how he related to the film’s subject, Amedeo Modigliani, adding that they had both gone through a number of ordeals in their lives—which for Johnny included his high publicized split from ex Amber Heard.
“Each has their story,” Johnny told reporters during a Sept. 24 press conference per The Hollywood Reporter. “Sure, we can say that I’ve been through a number of things here and there. But, you know, I’m alright.”
And while the 61-year-old—who shares daughter Lily-Rose, 25, and son Jack, 22, with ex Vanessa Paradis—is aware that others have “been through a number of things” as well, he joked, “Maybe yours wasn’t—didn’t turn into a soap opera. Televised, in fact,” seemingly a reference to his and Amber’s 2022 defamation trial, which was live-streamed each day.
