Johnny Depp, 58, is one of the best-known versatile actors in Hollywood. He has starred in a wide variety of films including Sweeney Todd (2007), Pirates of the Caribbean (2003, 2006, 2007, 2011, 2017), Alice in Wonderland (2010), Secret Window (2004), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), 21 Jump Street (2012), The Lone Ranger (2003), Public Enemies (2009), and more.
Now, Mr. Depp has appeared in court alongside ex-wife, Heard, as he is suing the Aquaman actress for defamation. Ms. Heard is countersuing Mr. Depp, claiming that he “defamed her when his former lawyer released statements saying her allegations of abuse were a hoax.”
Due to Heard’s allegations, Depp’s career has taken a few hits. Warner Bros.’ The Fantastic Beasts franchise dropped Depp and recast him with Madds Mikkelson. Disney also fired Depp from his iconic role of Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
After losing to The Sun in a libel lawsuit case in November 2021, Depp has gone back to court for a defamation case, claiming that Heard isn’t telling the truth and has ruined his career.
Depp took the stand last week in Fairfax, Virginia, where he has accused Ms. Heard of years of abuse. As more footage and evidence comes to light, more fans are standing by Johnny Depp, even getting the hashtag #JusticeForJohnny constantly trending.
Disney fans, especially, are speaking out and showing their support for the Jack Sparrow actor. Most recently, they came together at Disney California Adventure and cheered when the Jack Sparrow section of World of Color played.
Disney Guest and TikTok user, emilyirenephotoco, posted a video of the Jack Sparrow/Johnny Depp section of World of Color, where you can hear the support of the crowd as they cheer and applaud for the Pirates of the Caribbean actor.
