For over twenty years, Johnny Depp was a 'can't miss' movie star. Casting Depp in a movie was a guarantee of box office success, and audiences loved the charismatic and quirky actor - especially for his role as Jack in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies. All of that changed when he allegedly physically abused actress Amber heard during their marriage. Images of Heard's bruised face went viral when they were published in 2016.
If Heard is to be believed, Depp's long-standing alcohol and drugs problems have resurfaced, which is a terrible shame for a man who'd once completely overcome them. When sober, Depp's kindness and generosity are well known. He once visited a London hospital in his full costume from 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' and spent four hours reading to the children in there. He also donated $1.5m to the same hospital, which had saved the life of his daughter several years earlier.
