The dispute ended in a settlement in January 2017, but two years later it flared up again when it became known that Depp was suing his ex-wife for defamation – and demanded $ 50 million from her.

In 2018, the 58-year-old filed a civil lawsuit against the British tabloid newspaper The Sun, for having referred to him as a “wife banker” in an article. The star therefore felt offended, and demanded redress. In November last year, however, they learned that Depp had lost in court.

After this, the actor was told to withdraw from the “Fantastic Beasts” movie, where he was to play the role of Grindelwald.
Now the scandal star has finally done his first interview, after what he refers to as the “Hollywood boycott”. The interview was to promote his new film, “Minamata”, and was done by The Sunday Times – reproduced by Sky News.
It was when he was talking about the film that he eased the veil on what has been going on in his own life. The film tells the true story of a war photographer documenting mercury poisoning of Japanese villagers in the early 1970s
Depp, who is facing another legal battle – he has in fact sued his ex-wife for defamation and demands 50 million dollars – could not say anything about the trial to the newspaper. However, when he talked about the film, he still made references to his situation.

He describes himself as an actor who has been in an unpleasant and messy situation in recent years, but that he is willing to do what is necessary to bring all the facts to light.

However, the actor does not hide that the storm he has been in has affected him, but perhaps not as much as one might think:
– This time in my life has been completely absurd. But what did the people in “Minamata” experience? People who have had covid? Many people have lost their lives. Children have become ill … But what have I been through? It’s like being scratched by a kitten compared to it.
In conclusion, the Hollywood star assured that “Minamata” would not be his last film, despite the fact that, according to himself, he has been boycotted. It must be mentioned that the film was shot before the libel case in 2020, and he has not taken part in any new film recordings since then.
