Three years later, Depp gradually gained a foothold when replacing Jeff Yagher as the "undercover cop" Tommy Hanson - the romantic guy who made millions of girls fall in love - in the television project 21 Jump Street.

However, Depp does not want to be talked about just because he is handsome, what he is always aiming for is whether the ability to role-play is ecstatic or not. From this point of view, Depp accepts difficult, slightly more bizarre scenarios.

Experts say that the rock star's style has influenced Depp's choice of script and performance. The series of characters he takes on always have a melancholy soul, a superficial appearance and complicated thoughts. In the early 1990s, the actor first collaborated with Tim Burton in the work Edward Scissorhands and he quickly became the "muse" of this director.

"He has always had a problem with alcohol and substance abuse, which has been going on for a long time and is well known to the public," the actress said. "This is what makes Johnny very hot-tempered. He always imagines bad situations and finds excuses to endanger my body, even my life."

Johnny Depp's friends also voiced their innocence for the actor.

In the end, Johnny Depp still had to spend $ 7 million to settle with Amber Heard, making the miner "shut up" and withdraw the lawsuit herself. Because of being too strongly condemned by public opinion, Amber Heard later had to humbly give the above money to charity to prove her innocence.

In 2017, the couple officially completed the divorce procedure. Depp retains ownership of his own island in the Bahamas as well as his car collection. A marriage settlement was also made, stating that neither of them could speak negatively about their marriage or divorce.

The actress's side also gave a lot of evidence that she was abused during the time they were husband and wife. Meanwhile, Johnny Depp stood on the podium to testify and asserted that he pursued the case this time "for the truth".
