Fans, family & ‘royal’ comeback: Johnny Depp celebrates 59th birthday
Johnny Depp had a ‘big reason’ to celebrate his birthday this year, after he was awarded $15 million in judgment against ex Amber Heard.
Johnny Depp celebrated his 59th birthday a little over a week after he was awarded $15 million in judgment against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
The actor and his ex-wife have continued to make headlines after they face-off in a courtroom during a defamation lawsuit which lasted six weeks.
JOHNNY DEPP BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS
Johnny Depp was not present in the courtroom on Wednesday 1 June when the jury delivered their final verdict. Instead, the actor and musician was touring the UK in concert alongside pal and guitarist Jeff Beck.
According to Radar, Johnny Depp spent his birthday with “ith family and friends during a break in the tour”.
In a clip posted online, fans are heard singing happy birthday to Johnny Depp as he signs autographs following a York concert with Jeff Beck.
Fans of Johnny Depp also took to social media to share their birthday greetings.
Johnny Depp’s birthday appearance comes days after he was pictured looking worse for wear outside a Birmingham hotel in the UK. But according to sources, the actor was perfectly fine.
According to Page Six, his security guards were helping him navigate crowds of adoring fans. “Everywhere he goes, he’s getting mobbed by fans,” a source told the publication.
MAKING A MUSIC AND FILM COMEBACK
Meanwhile, Johnny Depp has bounced back following fears that his career had taken a blow following the six-week trial and six-year battle with Amber Heard.
The couple married in 2015 but split just a year later amid Amber’s claims that she had been physically, mentally, and sexually abused by the star.
During the trial, Johnny testified that his public persona had suffered following the damning allegations.
He said on the stand in the Fairfax, Virginia court in April: “It’s been six years of trying times. It’s very strange when one day you’re Cinderella, so to speak, and then in 0.6 seconds you’re Quasimodo”.
Since the final verdict was delivered, Johnny Depp has announced several projects up his sleeve.
They include:
- A joint album with guitarist Jeff Beck
- Starring in docuseries Boston George about drug dealer George Jacob Jung, whom he portrayed in the 2001 film Blow
- Making a big-screen comeback by playing French King Louis XV in an upcoming biopic
