Johnny Depp: Here’s What He’s Been up to as He Awaits Verdict in Amber Heard Defamation Trial

Johnny Depp has spent his time performing at concerts as he awaits the verdict in his defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.

According to Daily Mail, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star appeared on stage at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday alongside guitarist Jeff Beck. New York Post reported that Depp was greeted with a standing ovation from his fans in the venue.

Before Depp appeared on the stage, Beck introduced the actor by sharing how they met. The guitarist noted that they would not be friends if Depp did not knock on his dressing room five years ago.

Depp and Beck reportedly played at least seven songs during the concert of the lead guitarist, which includes Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" and The Beatles' "A Day in the Life."

They also performed a cover of "Isolation" and "Little Wing." Many concertgoers were glad to see the actor on stage with shouts of: "I love you Johnny!"

After the show, a crowd of 100 people reportedly gathered outside a back entrance, hoping to catch a glimpse of the actor. However, not everyone was pleased with Depp's appearance.

Concertgoer Austin Delord said there's "too much Johnny Depp" in Beck's concert on Monday, arguing that they did not go to the show to see the actor, Daily Mail reported.

Another concertgoer Francesca Cox said: "It was cool, unexpected. I preferred what was before."

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Defamation Trial

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are battling over a 2018 op-ed the actress wrote for the Washington Post, calling herself a domestic violence survivor.

The piece did not mention Depp by name, but the actor claimed he was booted from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise due to the "clear implication" that he was the abuser in his ex-wife's op-ed.

For six weeks, a court in Fairfax, Virginia heard over 100 hours of testimonies from different individuals who took the stand in the case, Cinema Blend reported.

On Friday, both sides gave their closing statements and urged jurors to consider other victims of domestic abuse. The jury will continue to deliberate on the case this Tuesday at Fairfax County Circuit Court. The jury will have to decide whether Heard's article insinuates or implies anything about her ex-husband or whether the story was false or written with the intention of malice.

Most of the public discussion about Depp and Heard's legal battles revolved around whether the actress was lying about her claims of physical abuse and assault. On the other hand, Depp's camp has claimed that Heard was lying and claimed that her testimony had too many holes to be believable.

Johnny Depp also alleged that Amber Heard was the actual "perpetrator" of the violent encounters that damaged their relationship. He is asking for $50 million in damages.

The "Aquaman" actress has filed a $100 million counterclaim against the actor, who she divorced in 2017, for nuisance.
