Amber Heard
Amber Heard is an American actress, and by the time her 2022 trial in Virginia began, an online petition to remove her from a superhero sequel had gathered 2 million signatures. Few working actors have drawn that kind of attention. Her career started with music videos and walk-on parts in teen television. It later passed through horror films, a network series canceled within weeks, and a studio role in a major comic-book franchise. What shaped a girl from the outskirts of Austin into someone whose casting could spark a petition of that size? Which roles lifted her and which ones went wrong? What did she do away from the camera? And what did courts on two continents actually decide about her marriage to a fellow actor?
Amber Laura Heard was born on the 22nd of April 1986 in Austin, Texas, the middle child of three daughters. Her mother, Patricia Paige, who lived from 1956 to 2020, worked as an internet researcher. Her father, David Clinton Heard, owned a construction company. The family lived outside Austin, and her father trained horses in his spare time. She grew up riding, hunting and fishing alongside him.
As a girl she also entered beauty pageants. As an adult she said she could no longer "support the objectification" they involved. Raised Catholic, she began to identify as an atheist at sixteen, after her best friend died in a car crash. The next year she no longer felt comfortable in what she called "conservative, God-fearin' Texas". She left her Catholic high school and moved to Los Angeles to act, and she later earned a diploma through a home-study course.
Her first screen credits were two music videos, Kenny Chesney's "There Goes My Life" and Eisley's "I Wasn't Prepared". Small television parts followed in Jack & Bobby and The Mountain in 2004, and The O.C. in 2005. Her film debut came in 2004 with a minor role in the sports drama Friday Night Lights. Brief parts in Drop Dead Sexy, North Country, Side FX, Price to Pay, Alpha Dog and Spin followed, along with a guest spot on Criminal Minds.
In 2006 she received her first leading role, in the unconventional slasher film All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival that year. Distribution problems then kept it out of European cinemas until 2008 and out of American cinemas until 2013.
In 2007 she played the love interest of the lead character in The CW's teen drama Hidden Palms, which the network used to fill the slot left by summer reruns. That year she also appeared in the short film Day 73 with Sarah, the teen drama Remember the Daze, and an episode of the Showtime series Californication. She had a leading role sitting on a shelf and a growing list of small parts. The first real change came in 2008.
In 2008 Heard won mainstream attention with supporting roles in the stoner comedy Pineapple Express, produced by Judd Apatow, and the martial arts drama Never Back Down. She also joined the ensemble of The Informers, an adaptation of a Bret Easton Ellis novel.
The Joneses followed in 2009, with David Duchovny and Demi Moore as her co-stars. Variety wrote that Heard "more or less steals the show" from Moore. She also had a brief part in the box office hit Zombieland. Most of her other work in this stretch fell into two groups. Some were independent films with limited theatrical releases, such as ExTerminators, The River Why and And Soon the Darkness. Others were critically panned horror films, namely The Stepfather and The Ward.
Drive Angry, a supernatural action thriller from 2011, paired her with Nicolas Cage. It underperformed at the box office, but Roger Ebert wrote that she "does everything that can possibly be done" with her role as a waitress caught up in an undead man's mission to save his daughter from a cult. In early 2011 she also appeared on the British program Top Gear, finishing 33rd of 41 on its Cee'd leaderboard.
The Playboy Club, an NBC crime drama set in the original Playboy Club in 1960s Chicago, came next. Poor reviews and ratings, plus protests from both feminists and conservative groups, ended it after only three episodes had aired. Her third role of 2011 was opposite Johnny Depp in The Rum Diary, an adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's work. It earned mixed reviews and grossed $30 million against a $45 million budget. She also appeared in an advertising campaign for the fashion brand Guess.
In 2013 she starred in the thriller Paranoia, the exploitation film Machete Kills and the satire Syrup. That year All the Boys Love Mandy Lane finally reached American theaters in a limited release. The Los Angeles Times called her performance in it her "most definitive to date", and The Washington Post found it "psychologically interesting". A supporting part in 3 Days to Kill followed in 2014.
Heard's 2015 included a prominent part as the love interest of Channing Tatum's character in Magic Mike XXL and a small role in Tom Hooper's The Danish Girl. She starred opposite James Franco and Ed Harris in The Adderall Diaries. IndieWire called her "miscast" there but said she "displays much potential and has succeeded in a bid to be taken more seriously". For the Starz television film One More Time, opposite Christopher Walken, she took singing lessons and learned piano and guitar to play a struggling singer-songwriter. The Los Angeles Times called her performance "superb", and The Film Stage said she did an "admirable job".
London Fields, based on Martin Amis's novel, was filmed in 2013. Heard played Nicola Six, a clairvoyant femme fatale who knows she will be murdered. It premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. Soon after the screening it was pulled from release amid disagreements between its director and producers, and amid litigation. Heard was sued for $10 million for allegedly breaching her performance and promotional obligations. She countersued, claiming the producers had violated a nudity rider in her contract. A settlement came in September 2018, and the film was finally released to highly negative reviews.
Heard later said that "it was one of the most difficult movies to film and it has proven to continue to be difficult... I can't say I did the character justice". Jane Mulkerrins of The Daily Telegraph found her "a decent enough turn as the enigmatic Nicola Six". Peter Sobczynski of RogerEbert.com said she "just does not project the kind of mystery and allure" the part demands. In 2019 the performance earned her a Golden Raspberry nomination for Worst Actress.
In 2017 Heard appeared in Lake Bell's indie comedy I Do... Until I Don't, and she joined the DC Extended Universe as Mera, a princess of an Atlantean kingdom, in Justice League. She returned to the role in 2018 in Aquaman, alongside Jason Momoa. It was her first major studio role.
Heard said she was drawn to Mera as "a strong, independent, self-possessed superhero in her own right". She also liked that the character rejected being called Aquawoman instead of her own name. Reviews of the film were mixed, yet it grossed over $1 billion. Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune felt she "lends a blasé air of early '50s B-movie cheese". Geoffrey Macnab of The Independent said she "camps it up entertainingly". The same year, the cosmetics brand L'Oréal Paris named her a global ambassador.
Heard took supporting roles in the independent dramas Her Smell and Gully in 2019. Her only project in 2020 was The Stand, a miniseries based on Stephen King's novel. She played Nadine Cross, a school teacher who survives an apocalyptic plague. It premiered on CBS All Access in December 2020, and its finale aired in February 2021. In 2021 she reprised Mera in Zack Snyder's Justice League, a director's cut for which she had filmed new scenes.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom arrived in 2023, after a campaign that began when Depp lost his British libel case and was replaced in the Fantastic Beasts films in 2020. An online petition sought to remove Heard from the sequel. She described the campaign as "paid rumors and paid campaigns on social media". The film's co-producer, Peter Safran, confirmed she would appear. Heard later said she "fought really hard to stay in the movie" but that "they didn't want to include me in the film", and that only a "very pared-down version" of her part was shot. Walter Hamada, a former DC Studios president, and director James Wan said the reduction came from the sequel's focus on the relationship between Momoa's character and Patrick Wilson's.
After the film's release, several critics suspected her account was right. A critic for Business Insider found it hard to believe there was no version in which Mera teamed up with her husband against Black Manta. Another wrote that Heard, "a steely highlight of Aquaman", now felt "as though her scenes were all added in post". Dolph Lundgren, who also appears in the film, said "the original script was great... I was a bigger part of it and Amber Heard was a bigger part of it".
Heard's first role after the trial was in In the Fire, directed by Conor Allyn. It premiered at the Taormina Film Fest in June 2023 and was released in October 2023. In June 2025 she was cast in Jeremy O. Harris's play Spirit of the People, playing Genevieve. It opened on the 17th of July at the MainStage Theatre of the Williamstown Theatre Festival and ran until the 3rd of August.
In 2016 Heard became an American Civil Liberties Union volunteer as an Artist Ambassador, a role reserved for people who advocate for civil rights and civil liberties. In 2018 she became an ambassador for the organization on gender justice issues. She also served as a Human Rights Ambassador for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and supported its Stand Up for Human Rights campaign. With Amnesty International she traveled to the Mexico-United States border and worked on a bilingual campaign about American immigration policy.
In September 2018 she spoke at the United Nations' 9th Annual Social Good Summit. Her talk stressed fairness, justice and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In October 2018 she gave a speech at HagueTalks' Imagine the World We Want event, ahead of the declaration's 70th anniversary.
In April 2018 she joined the Syrian American Medical Society on a medical mission to the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan as a goodwill ambassador. She then partnered with the society to help pay for treatment of children in the camp with thalassemia. In November 2018 she visited Smile Train programs in Mexico, meeting children with cleft lip and cleft palate, their families and doctors. In February 2019 she joined the society's mission to Lebanon, visiting informal settlements in the Beqaa Valley. She helped raise money there for psychosocial and educational programs and vocational training for women and children.
In November 2016 Heard appeared in a public service announcement on domestic violence for the #GirlGaze Project. She argued that survivors of violence against women should find it easier to come forward. A letter in the December 2016 issue of Porter magazine addressed "every woman who is suffering in silence". It told them, "You may not see us, but we are there. Your sisters are everywhere... and we are with you."
At The Economist's Pride and Prejudice event in March 2017, she pointed to the underrepresentation of LGBTQ characters in Hollywood. She drew on her own coming out and urged men in the industry to help "challenge the status quo". In August 2017 she produced a short video for the publication on the gender pay gap and the underrepresentation of women in the industry.
In May 2019 Heard spoke on Capitol Hill in support of the SHIELD Act. She described her experience as one of the victims of the 2014 celebrity nude photo leak, in which she said "more than 50 of her personal photos were stolen and released to the public". In November 2019 she wrote a New York Times op-ed arguing that "revenge porn" is the wrong label because the images are released without consent, and she called for congressional legislation. That month the Hetrick-Martin Institute honored her, Nico Tortorella and DC Comics for "their activism and commitment to disenfranchised youth". Before the 2020 presidential election she appeared in a Planned Parenthood ad by the artist Marilyn Minter and joined the VoteRiders #IDCheck Challenge.
A separate pledge to charity, made in 2016, would later be examined in court.
Heard first met Johnny Depp in 2009, when she was cast to work alongside him. According to reports, they began dating in 2012, and they married in a civil ceremony in February 2015. In November 2015 an episode of the reality series Overhaulin' gave her Mustang a makeover. The cast also pranked her at Depp's request.
In April 2015 the couple flew into Queensland, where Depp was working on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. They failed to declare the two dogs traveling with them, which breached Australia's biosecurity laws. In May 2015 the dogs were flown out of the country hours before a euthanasia deadline. In July 2015 only Heard was charged. By December the case had been adjourned four times, and she had instructed her lawyers to enter not guilty pleas. In April 2016 she pleaded guilty to falsifying quarantine documents and blamed sleep deprivation. Criminal charges were dropped, and she received a one-month good behaviour bond of A$1,000. The two released a video apologizing and urging others to follow biosecurity rules.
In May 2016 Heard filed for divorce and obtained a temporary restraining order. Her statement said that Depp had been "verbally and physically abusive" to her throughout the relationship. She asked for $50,000 a month in spousal support. Depp's counsel replied that she was trying to secure "a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse". He agreed to the restraining order and promised mutual stay-away orders.
A settlement was reached in August 2016, and Heard pledged to split the proceeds equally between the ACLU and Children's Hospital Los Angeles. She dropped her request for a continued restraining order. A joint statement called the relationship "intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love" and said "Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain." By January 2017 the final terms were set. Depp would pay $7 million by February 2018 and contribute $500,000 toward her attorneys' fees. She would receive custody of their two dogs, a horse and two cars. He kept his real estate and 42 vehicles, and neither side paid spousal support. In her 2022 testimony, Heard said that with no prenuptial agreement she could have claimed half of the $65 million Depp earned during the marriage.
In November 2016 she defended the pledge against a TMZ claim that she had not yet donated, even though Depp had not finished paying. Children's Hospital Los Angeles listed her in its Honor Roll of Donors for fiscal year 2017. Depp completed the payment in October 2018, and that month, on the Dutch talk show RTL Late Night, she said she had donated $7 million. In a 2020 testimony she said the full amount had gone to charity.
In January 2021 the Daily Mail reported an allegation by Depp's lawyers that she had not finished donating. Her lawyer replied that she intended to "eventually fulfill her pledge" but had been delayed by spending millions on defending Depp's lawsuit. At the 2022 trial, a hospital representative testified that she had given $250,000 as of 2021. The ACLU's chief operating officer testified in December 2021 that the group expected the money over ten years, and that $1.3 million had been given in her name between 2016 and 2018. Heard testified that the case had cost her more than $6 million in legal fees and that she planned to resume donating when she could.
In June 2018 Depp sued News Group Newspapers, publisher of The Sun, for libel in the United Kingdom. An April 2018 article had called him a "wife beater". Heard was a key witness for the newspaper company at the highly publicized trial in July 2020. In November 2020 the presiding judge ruled that Depp had lost his claim. The judge found that "the great majority of alleged assaults of Ms Heard by Mr Depp 12 out of the 14 have been proved to the civil standard". The court rejected Depp's claim of a hoax and accepted that Heard's allegations had damaged her career and activism. His appeal was rejected in March 2021.
In February 2019 Depp filed a defamation suit in the United States over a December 2018 op-ed Heard wrote for The Washington Post. He pointed to three statements. The first was the headline, in which she said she had spoken up against sexual violence and faced the culture's wrath. The second was her line "I became a public figure representing domestic abuse". The third was her claim to have seen "how institutions protect men accused of abuse". Depp also alleged that she had abused him and that her accusations were a hoax.
In August 2020 Heard counterclaimed. She alleged that Depp had coordinated a harassment campaign on Twitter and organized online petitions to get her fired from Aquaman and L'Oréal. Her counterclaim went to trial over three statements by Depp's then-lawyer Adam Waldman, published in the Daily Mail in April 2020. One called her accusations a "sexual violence hoax". Another described a penthouse incident as "an ambush, a hoax" in which she and friends "got their stories straight" before a second 911 call. The third spoke of an "abuse hoax".
The trial took place in Fairfax County, Virginia, between the 11th of April and the 1st of June 2022. On Depp's lawsuit, the jury found all three statements from Heard's op-ed false, defamatory and made with actual malice. It awarded him $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Virginia law cut the punitive award to $350,000. On the counterclaim, the jury did not find Waldman's first and third statements defamatory. It found his second false, defamatory and made with actual malice, and awarded Heard $2 million in compensatory damages and nothing in punitive damages.
During the trial, online sentiment ran largely against Heard, and her widely ridiculed testimony was thought by many to be false. She said she was "harassed, humiliated, threatened every single day" and called the criticism "agonizing". When an interviewer suggested the jury had weighed the evidence and not believed her, she asked how they could have believed her once she took the stand, after they had listened "to three-and-a-half weeks of testimony about how I was a non-credible person".
The day after the verdict, her lawyer Elaine Bredehoft said Heard could not afford the damages and would appeal. A month later one of her insurers, New York Marine, sued in federal court to avoid paying up to $1 million toward her defense. It argued that the jury's findings showed her liability came from her own willful acts.
Both sides appealed, then settled in December 2022. Heard said that even if her appeal succeeded she "simply cannot go through" a retrial, and that the settlement was "not an act of concession". Depp's lawyers said the jury's decision "remains fully in place" and that Heard's insurer would pay Depp $1 million, which he was pledging to donate to charities.
In 2010 Heard publicly came out. She has said she does not label herself either way, having had successful relationships with men and later a woman. In her words, "I love who I love; it's the person that matters."
From 2008 to 2012 she was in a relationship with the photographer Tasya van Ree. During that time Heard legally changed her last name to van Ree, then reverted to her birth name in 2014. In 2009 she was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport after allegedly hitting van Ree. She appeared the next day in King County District Court in Seattle and was not charged. The arrest became public in 2016 during her divorce from Depp. A statement issued by Heard's publicist quoted van Ree saying Heard had been "wrongfully" accused and that the incident was "misinterpreted and over-sensationalized". Van Ree added that the two "shared 5 wonderful years together and remain close to this day".
After the divorce, Heard dated the tech entrepreneur Elon Musk for a year, until early 2018. From January 2020 to December 2021 she was in a relationship with the actress and cinematographer Bianca Butti.
In April 2021 Heard had her first child, a daughter, through surrogacy. As of June 2023 she lives in Madrid, Spain. In December 2024 she announced she was expecting her second child. On the 11th of May 2025 she announced the arrival of twins, a daughter and a son.
