Amber comments on her career as an actor
In the aftermath of the defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp, Amber Heard had announced the news of her move to Spain. The trial had also negatively impacted her career as an actress in Hollywood. A prominent example of this was her screen time being reportedly cut down drastically, in the unreleased Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom . Despite rumours of her having quit Hollywood and acting, the actress stated that she does in fact, have some projects in the pipeline.
Johnny Depp sued Amber Heard on charges of defamation, based on an op-ed she penned for The Washington Post. The trial, was highly publicised and largely followed by the public and media portals. The judgement largely turned out in Depp's favour, instructing Heard to pay him $10 million in compensatory damages with an additional $350,000 in punitive damages. Hear is currently residing in Spain, Madrid with daughter Oonagh Paige while Depp has re-entered acting, starting with Jeanne du Barry which opened the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival.
