One year after Hollywood’s loudest trial, both Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are trying to return to the limelight.

The latest issue of People magazine has delved into the lives of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard since the two ended their 6-week defamation trial in December 2022. Accordingly, both now live separate lives, are extremely optimistic and both want to rebuild a new image after previous troubles.

For Johnny Depp, the actor felt as if his life was being rebuilt when he was once again welcomed into the glory of Hollywood. Last year, Johnny Depp toured with guitarist Jeff Beck until the artist passed away in January 2023 at the age of 78. Next, the Pirates of the Caribbean star returned to the big screen in the movie of France named Jeanne Du Barry. This film even opened at the Cannes Film Festival.

At the present time, Johnny Depp is extremely happy with what he has achieved and wants to continue with his work, ignoring all past controversies.

Meanwhile, Amber Heard paid $1 million in compensation due to Johnny Depp. This is the result of settlement and negotiation, the actress’s salary was reduced from 10 million USD to 1 million USD.

After this incident, the actress sold her house in Yucca Valley (California, USA) in exchange for a more peaceful life in Spain, living with her 2-year-old daughter. After settling into life in her new home, Amber “has new energy and a desire to focus on the things she loves”.

This is also the reason why Amber Heard decided to appear at the Taormina Film Festival in Italy, promote the new movie In the Fire and post on social networking sites. This is one of the rare times a female celebrity updates her life and work after losing the lawsuit against her ex-husband.
