Amber Heard's biography
Amber Heard is a sought-after American actress and model. She gained recognition through the series Hidden Palms and the film The Rum Diary. She is Johnny Depp's ex-wife.
Amber Heard's childhood
Amber grew up in Austin, Texas. Her father ran a construction company, and her mother worked in telecommunications. According to the actress, her father really wanted a son, which is why he taught her to drive, ride horses, and be strong. Amber's mother recalled that from early childhood, her daughter constantly tested her limits to see how far she could push herself.
The beginning of Amber Heard's career
In New York, she dove into the modeling world. Her childhood dream seemed within reach, but it didn't last long. She craved something more unpredictable, so she headed to Los Angeles to break into Hollywood.
In 2004, she appeared in the sports drama Friday Night Lights, in 2005 – in the low-budget horror movie Side Fx, in the comedy Drop Dead Sexy and in the female mineworker drama North Country, alongside none other than Charlize Theron.
Amber Heard and her road to popularity
In 2008, Amber Heard landed roles in two commercially successful films: in the drama Never Back Down, where she played the love interest of the main character on his journey from zero to martial arts stardom. The second movie was the comedy Pineapple Express with Seth Rogen and James Franco, following the misadventures of two stoner buddies.
From there, Amber's career continued its upward trajectory: she got to work with Harrison Ford, Liam Hemsworth, Demi Moore; she was very proud of her role as a CIA agent in Luc Besson's movie 3 Days to Kill.
With her rising popularity, Amber began taking on more compelling roles. Gone were the dreamy beauties – now came characters with real depth and complexity. For instance, in 2015, she appeared in the movie The Adderall Diaries, based on Stephen Elliott's memoirs. She was equally impressive in The Danish Girl, which tells the story of one of the first people to undergo gender transition. The film's director praised Amber as the embodiment of ideal feminine beauty.
Amber Heard's personal life
Starting in 2005, she was in a serious relationship with actor Crispin Glover, but in 2008 she surprised fans by revealing her relationship with photographer Tasya Van Ree. They kept their relationship private for a long time, and it was only at a GLAAD party (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) that the actress opened up about it: I am who I am. In my opinion, if you refuse or fear to believe something, you're unwillingly admitting that it's not right. But I don't feel like I'm not right.
Divorce with Johnny Depp
On May 25, 2016, 3 days after Depp's mother's death, Amber Heard filed for divorce from Johnny Depp. The official cause was "irreconcilable differences". Soon after, she accused Depp of domestic violence. Johnny denied all accusations, insisting that Heard was the domestic abuser in their relationship:Ms. Heard is not a victim of domestic abuse; she is a perpetrator.
Initially, they reached a compromise. Amber pledged to withdraw the abuse charges in exchange for $7 million, which she promised to donate to charity. Depp went ahead and transferred this money to two charitable foundations, but it didn't suit the actress - she didn't receive tax breaks. All this took place under a non-disclosure agreement, but Amber violated it by making a statement that included the following phrase:
After that, Depp refused to compromise and his lawyer said that "Amber is trying to get her 15 minutes of fame". Moreover, Depp filed a counterclaim, intending to prove Amber was violent and sue her for $50 million.Amber HeardWhen a woman comes forward to speak out about injustice or her suffering, instead of aid, respect and support, she will be met with hostility, skepticism and shame.
For Amber Heard, 2020 was more associated with a scandalous divorce than with her roles. The litigation with Johnny Depp had been going on for many months. During it, many unpleasant details about the actress's life were revealed, including her betrayals and evidence of an abusive relationship.I'm sorry that I didn't hit you across the face in a proper slap, but I was hitting you, it was not punching you I don't know what the motion of my actual hand was, but you're fine, I did not hurt you, I did not punch you, I was hitting you. I can't promise you I won't get physical again.
Amber Heard Now
Due to the controversial conflict with Johnny Depp, some people began boycotting Amber's upcoming movies. Thousands of people have signed a petition asking for Heard to be removed from her role in "Aquaman". However, Warner Bros refused to budge, and Amber kept working on the sequel, which was scheduled for release in 2022.
In May 2022, the libel trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp finally ended. The actress was caught lying multiple times. For example, she said, that Depp is a cocaine addict, and presented a photo showing a table with perfectly arranged lines of powder as evidence. Previously Amber said, that Depp is a heavy smoker, so the judge questioned why there was only one unlit cigarette in the ashtray, which spoke of the staged nature of the photo. And there were many similar inconsistencies.That is exactly why I wanted to play Nadine… because of that element. That dynamic that people do not know what to make of her makes her an infinitely more interesting character for me, and a much more compelling character to play. It is much more interesting to me as an actor for me to take on and embody.
