I didn’t recognise him! He’s scrubbed up well hasn’t he in preparation for an upcoming role ‘Day Drinker’ as a guest onboard a yacht. He’s 61 now and it’s good to see him ditching the ‘grunge look’ with the beads, bandanas etc. okay it’s only for a production but I think he looks great!

That was really only for Jack Sparrow.

For goodness sake, his bad behaviour just can't be compared with Jimmy Saville's crimes!

I was comparing the way the general public so often refuse to see the real personality of these men, no matter how clearly they show themselves. Not comparing the extent of their behaviour

I agree, his acting, especially cptn sparrow when he channelled Kieth Richard’s was entertaining
But - in many people’s eyes, Rolf Harris/Saville were entertaining

Not fond of abusive males either.

No in England he sued the press for calling him a wife beater
Court heard evidence from depp and heard and concluded the evidence supported the press. That depp was a wife beater

Mt61 Wed 14-May-25 09:29:19

I think both brought the worst out in each other- drugs & drink didn’t help on both sides.
I preferred him when he was younger. Her not so much! Heard she tells lies- other cast members haven’t liked working with her.. but then you can’t believe all you read.

She wasn’t throwing mud - she made allegations, the court believed her, not him

Yes, Amber Heard was definitely throwing mud. They are called 'allegations'. And he was throwing it back.

The Hollywood Set thrive on the adage "bad publicity is better than no publicity."

Labrador’s - great image, plus I’ve always rather liked wolves

His aftershave ads always amuse me.
When he shimmies off and the wolves uncurl themselves and walk after him, I always think" they're not following you , Johnny .......they're hunting you........

Apologies predictive text on a roll here. It should say ‘women who blame’ previous partners

Iam64 Mon 21-Apr-25 15:17:04

Really? You’d be joining the many women who bland the previous partner for provoking or exaggerating domestic abuse, only to discover they’re wrong

My apologies Iam64 I misunderstood your post.

Yes indeed, some couples do bring out the worst in each other. It’s important to remember in the English court case, where Depp sued `The Sub newspaper , the Judge ruled that a newspaper article calling Depp ‘a wife beater’ was substantionallg true. The court found 12 of 14,alleged incidents against Bamber Heard has occurred. Consequently, Depp lost the libel case.

It should no longer surprise us that women defend men like this despite the fact 1.2 women each week are murdered by male ex/partner,

Excellent post.

The case I refer to was depp suing the Sun newspaper for labelling him a wife beater. Of 14 allegations, the London court found 12 substantiated. The Sun won the case, the court concluded on the evidence that calling him a wife beater was not libel
The case in the US like the one here, did neither Heard or Depp any favours
It’s interesting how easily women criticise the woman in domestic violence situations
She fought back/she provoked etc etc

Gummie Mon 21-Apr-25 12:37:51

Does nothing for me. Just looks like an old man.

Carlotta Mon 21-Apr-25 11:59:27

Oh! I thought that Depp won the case? Heard sued Depp. Depp counter sued. Depp was awarded £12 million damages. Maybe I've got it wrong......
