Following his court dispute with Amber Heard, Johnny Depp mostly withdrew from the public view.
As a character actor, Johnny Depp had a lengthy and extraordinarily successful career filled with many well-known film credits. But in recent times, his name has perhaps been best associated with his partnership with Amber Heard and their protracted, tumultuous court dispute. It’s been reported that Depp has acknowledged feeling “cut off” from the public as a celebrity, stating, “It just gets weird.” Let’s dissect everything.
A few years have passed since the Depp/Heard case was decided, with the Pirates of the Caribbean star winning the most of the time. Even though his first post-trial film, Jeanne du Barry, is now making its way to theaters in the United States, he hasn’t accepted any Hollywood roles throughout this period. He discussed his connection to the gossipy culture in an interview with People about that film.
I think for someone in that position, and again, some of this stuff resonates for me — not that I’m a king of any sort.

And yet he was, in a sense, hidden away and living his life that way. So the layers between him and the real world, they start to get thicker and weirder.
