Johnny Depp casts Amber Heard in role of his abusive mother: expert
During Johnny Depp’s first day testimony in his defamation trial against Amber Heard, the veteran actor spoke in a slow, halting way, inflected with a vague British accent and a powerful and even convincing sense of vulnerability.
“The details of his mother’s physical abuse of him and his brothers and sisters was very sad,” Davis said, adding that armchair psychologists could be made to wonder if the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star subconsciously chose Heard as his girlfriend and wife because of similarities to his mother. Depp testified Tuesday that Heard’s allegations are “heinous,” “disturbing” and false. He also said the allegations damaged his career and were hurtful to his children, Lily-Rose and Jack, who were teenagers at the time. The once-beloved actor insisted that he never in his life hit a woman.
“For him to bare his soul and admit all of his feelings about his celebrity and his drug use in front of the entire world, along with the introduction of damning and bizarre texts between him and others in his life, means that he must have nothing left to lose,” Davis said. “I called her Slim, because of the film, ‘To Have and Have Not,’ and that was Bogart’s nickname for Lauren Bacall’s character,” Depp said. “She called me Steve It wasn’t lost on me that there was an age difference. … That was the joke: I was the old craggy Bogey and she was this beautiful creature, this just stunning creature.”
Depp said she started to become controlling, as in not liking it when he sometimes wanted to stay up later and watch TV when she was ready to go to bed.
