Johnny Depp is one of the biggest celebrities in the industry and was also the highest-paid actor at the time. He is always known for completing the task he took upon, no matter how hard it is or how unusual it may be, Depp always comes in clutch.

Johnny Depp Came in Clutch with Edward Scissorhands
Johnny Depp is one of the most serious people when it comes to acting and he takes his role or performance very seriously in order to perform his best and entertain all his fans and followers. Though his recent allegations of s*xual violence and domestic abuse against ex-wife Amber Heard dropped him from one of the best, the matter was solved in court and the jury ruled against Heard. Apart from this, Depp has had a pretty successful career so far and has earned hundreds of millions of dollars to his name from his multiple blockbuster roles.
One of those roles comes from a fantasy-romance movie he did back in the 90s that was a bit unconventional, Edward Scissorhands, though a bit unconventional, it was a perfect ten out of ten performance from his side and it also received the support of the fans at the box office after its release. But the most fascinating fact about this movie was that while filming it, the weather conditions were absolutely harsh. It was extremely hot, as the movie was filmed in Florida, and moreover, the Chocolat actor was wearing a leather suit.
“He was wearing this leather suit, a very hot costume in extreme heat in Southern Florida in springtime. They had some kind of cooling agent they could use inside of Johnny’s suit, but I don’t think he ever used it. He was really, trooper beyond trooper. Tim fainted, and he wasn’t wearing a hot suit.”
Scriptwriter Caroline Thompson in an interview said that the weather condition was so harsh that the director Tim Burton fainted, and many people on set got rashes due to the extreme heat. But despite all this, Johnny Depp continued with his role in the scorching heat and even refused to use a cooling agent that goes inside his suit to help him cool down. This shows the level of determination Johnny Depp has for his roles and the fact that he tries his very best is one of the best things of Depp.
Johnny Depps Defamation Case Against Amber Heard
The legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is one of the most talked about incidents that happened this year. As their trial was publicized, during the initial trial Johnny Depp was severely criticized due to his harsh behaviors towards his ex-wife Heard and was called names for it, one of them being “wife-beater” among the many other harsh names. He was trolled on social media too for his actions as many people were biased about him even before the trial ended.
While both of them had a lovey-dovey marriage in 2015, just a couple of years later the two got a divorce and a lawsuit was filed against Depp charging him with physical abuse. Their legal drama was one of the longest trials that ever happened between Hollywood celebrities and the lawsuit Amber Heard filed against her ex-husband backfired on her as the jury of Fairfax County in Virginia ruled their decision against the Aquaman actress.
Johnny Depp’s $50 million defamation case ended with him being at the top and getting awarded a huge sum of $10 million and another $5 million in punitive damages that was later reduced to $350,000 which he will receive from the other party. While Amber Heard’s ridiculous $100 million countersuit backfired on her as she not only lost the case but also got her reputation of being one of the best actors in Hollywood dragged through the mud. But she was awarded a sum of $2 million as compensatory damages from the Pirates of the Caribbean actor.
Edward Scissorhands is available for streaming on HBO Max.
