The protagonist of Pirates of the Caribbean will be absent from the big screen to fight his addiction. It would have been at the request of his girlfriend, Amber Heard
Johnny Depp, one of Hollywood's biggest stars, will retire from the big screen for a while to fight his addiction to alcohol.
According to reports, Depp - 51 years old - made the decision at the express request of his girlfriend, Amber Heard, who would have given him an ultimatum. Thus, the protagonist of Pirates of the Caribbean will put aside the performance until he is recovered.
On November 16, at the Hollywood Film Award gala, Depp starred in a controversy, after being drunk when he had to deliver the award for best documentary. That is why the CBS chain decided to cut the transmission and that was when the scandal broke out.
"I am fucking shy, I live in a way as a fugitive. I do not like social gatherings. I have less and less opportunity to observe, because it is me who they observe," he had said in an interview months ago.
On December 9, the actor was supposed to appear at the premiere of his latest film, Into the Woods, but that did not happen. "The producers authorized him not to promote the film, in part due to his personal and family situation," a source close to the actor told local media.
