Amber Heard has acted in many television shows and movies including “Aquaman,” and “Criminal Minds.” Heard also had a lot of press around her very public relationship with now ex-husband, Johnny Depp. She was born on April 22, 1986, in Austin, Texas to parents Paige and David Heard.
Heard, whose net worth is now $-6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth losing the defamation trial to Depp, got her film debut in the movie, “Friday Night Lights” in 2004. After that movie, she went on to work in many other films like “North Country,” “All the Boys Love Mandy Lane,” “Pineapple Express” and “Zombieland.” She also had various television appearances in shows like “The O.C,” “Criminal Minds,” “Californication” and “Hidden Palms.” Some other films Heard was in during the earlier stages of her career were “The Stepfather,” “The Ward,” “Drive Angry,” “Syrup,” and “3 Days to Kill.”
In 2011, Heard played Chenault in “The Rum Diary.” She and Depp met during the filming of the movie. They were both in relationships at the time, but eventually started dating in 2012. The pair got married in 2015, but got divorced two years later. They have been in a huge legal battle since Heard wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post, implying that she was abused by Depp. After a six week trial in Fairfax, Virginia that millions tuned in to watch, the jury found that Heard had defamed Depp and awarded the actor $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive, which were reduced to $350,000 due to Virginia’s law. Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages due to the statements made by Depp's attorney Adam Waldman. Heard owes $10.35 million to Depp, an amount that her lawyers have said she cannot afford to pay. Heard and her team have tried to appeal, but have been unsuccessful in their endeavors.
One big role that the actress is known for is playing Mera, in “Aquaman” with Jason Mamoa. She also plays the character in the 2017 “Justice League” and in “Zack Snyder’s Justice League.” She is in the “Aquaman” sequel, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” that is set to come out in 2023, even though her appearance in the "Aquaman" sequel has became controversial after the legal situation with her and Depp.
Even though Depp was Heard’s most public relationship, she has also been connected with painter and photographer Tasya van Ree in 2008, model Cara Delevingne, Tesla founder and billionaire Elon musk on and off from 2016-2018 and art dealer Vito Schnabel.
