Johnny Depp: he looks back on the “soap opera” period of his life opposite Amber Heard

While promoting his second film as a director, Modi, Johnny Depp has opened up about the turbulent period in his life when he was at odds with his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard.

Modi, Johnny Depp's second film as a director, more than two decades after The Brave (released in 1997), is dedicated to the Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani. Starring Ricardo Scarmacio and Al Pacino, this biopic was presented by the star this Tuesday at the San Sebastian Festival in Spain. And how can we not see in the unbridled, fiercely free and rock'n'roll life of this artista parallel with that of the 61-year-old American actor?

So to see these people on the verge of earning their stripes… There's something beautiful to me about that time when I was living in a tiny studio apartment right off Hollywood Boulevard, in a dangerous neighborhood. They were tough. They were tough, ugly; they were weird, and all sorts of things, but they were beautiful.

Aired on television channels around the world, the trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is by far one of the most publicized of the 21st century.
