Amber Heard started dating in 2011, and her career started to lift off, she was cast in several hit movies such as 3 Days to Kill, The Danish Girl, London Fields, and many more, but her role of Mera in DCU’s Aquaman remains the most popular of all. However, her career took a nosedive due to the defamation trial against Johnny Depp, where she accused her partner of domestic and s*xual abuse on her, but Depp denied those accusations.
The couple’s legal battle was highly publicized, but in the end, Depp won the case, and Amber Heard was not happy about it, stating how he used his power and fame to sway the result in his favor. Soon after, she moved to Madrid with her daughter to avoid getting criticized for her actions by the fans of the Black Mass actor.
Amber Heard Learns Self-Control Before The Release of In The Fire
Ahead of the release of her upcoming film, In The Fire, Amber Heard traveled to Sicily, Italy to be a part of the Taormina Film Festival. However, fans of Johnny Depp were protesting in full force, as her film was being premiered at the film festival. However, instead of giving a reaction The North Country actress controlled herself. Variety used this opportunity to approach the actress and asked how she managed to take the first step.
The actress shared that she is in control and she understands how adding fuel to the fire is not a good idea, and she can not control what other people would think of her.
“I’m in control for the most part of what comes out of my mouth. What I’m not in control is how my pride in this project and all we put into this film can be surrounded by clips of other stuff. That’s a big thing I had to learn, that I’m not in control of stories other people create around me. That’s something that probably I’ll appreciate as a blessing further down the line.”
“Right now, I just kind of want to not have, you know, stones thrown at me so much. So let’s get the elephant out of the room then, and just let me say that. I am an actress. I’m here to support a movie. And that’s not something I can be sued for.”
Amber Heard gives a clear statement where she unambiguously states her intentions and how she will do everything to get her acting career back on track, and she will not let her past affect her future.
“I have decades in this industry. I’m not telling you I have this amazing film career, but what I have is something that I’ve made, myself, and it has given me a lot to be able to contribute…That’s substantial enough. What I have been through, what I’ve lived through, doesn’t make my career at all. And it’s certainly not gonna stop my career.”
Through her words it looks like Heard is no longer bitter after her loss at the trial which forced her to pay a huge amount of money to Johnny Depp, eventually forcing her to leave America and go on a break for an indefinite period of time.
Amber Heard Bounces Back With In The Fire
While it will be impossible to live the life prior to the defamation case but In The Fire is definitely the film that will aid Amber Heard to take the first step in going back to her normal life. And Conor Allyn, the director of the film firmly believes that with Heard’s acting chops and talent, she will soon make a comeback and his film is just a stepping stone.
“Amber has an incredibly bright future ahead. I think In the Fire showcases her talents as an actor. I know this is something she is very proud of and it’s something we are very excited to release to the public. I think it will be a great opportunity for her to have something beyond the trial and stuff to talk about and to be a platform for a hell of a comeback.”
While Conor Allyn firmly believes that The River Why actress would surely make a comeback. However, fans of Johnny Depp have not forgotten her as her allegations have drastically affected the actor’s career, costing him the role of Gellert Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, and his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in The Pirates of the Caribbean movie series. Hence, only time will tell if she makes a comeback or not.
There is no international release date for In The Fire.
