Amber Heard’s Unique Claim to Fame

Amber Heard became even more popular and famous after her drama and Johnny Depp came to be made public. However, when all is said and done, Amber Heard is a talented actress who did an amazing job in the movie, ‘Aquaman.’ I think that the whole trial battle between her and Johnny Depp gave people a glimpse of the kind of person she was and if it weren’t for that, her career wouldn’t have gone down the drain the way it did. It is therefore more of a win-win kind of situation when you look at it. But before all this escalated the way it did, how exactly did Heard become famous? Where did she start from exactly?

1. Heard left her Catholic home when she was only 16

Amber Heard grew up in a typical and strict Catholic household in Texas. According to her mother, Marie Claire, ever since Amber was a little girl, she always wanted to see how far she could manage to go and how fast she would achieve this. While explaining her journey and how far she came from, Amber said, “A horse became a bike, a bike became a car, a car became a plane.”

2. Amber grew up languishing in poverty

Heard while on an interview admitted that after leaving home at age 16, she had been on the road since then. As she was recalling her life in Texas, she recalled her life being pretty tough because of isolation and poverty. She however looks at it from a positive point of view where she believes that that life taught her the value of money and that impacted positively in her life. She explained that,

“You respect what it takes to earn it and it also gives you a certain resilience, because it minimizes this false notion that that’s what matters. I know that to not be true, and I know I’m fine without it. That’s why maybe I’m so independent. I never expect anyone to give me anything鈥攖he notion of someone supporting me would be absurd to me.”

3. Amber Heard also gained Mainstream recognition in 2008

Between 2008 and 2016, Amber Heard gained mainstream recognition especially when she got supporting roles in the Judd Apatow-produced stoner comedy Pineapple Express and the martial arts drama Never Back Down. She also appeared as part of an ensemble cast in the adaptation of Bret Easton Elli’s novel, ‘The Informers,’ which was released in 2008.

In 2011, people began learning more about Amber Heard after she played the female lead opposite Johnny Depp in the movie, ‘The Rum Diary.’ The movie wasn’t really a success but her romance with Johnny Depp off-screen made her even more popular. These two started dating in 2012 after Johnny Depp’s long-term relationship with Vanessa Paradis ended. The couple kept their relationship private until 2014 when it was reported that they had gotten engaged by People.

5. Amber had a series of very successful films

After Amber and Johnny came out as a couple in 2014, her popularity skyrocketed overnight. The couple tied the knot in the Bahamas in February 2015 and that is the year Heard had a series of very successful film releases. Such movies included Magic Mike XXL, The Danish Girl, The Adderall Diaries, and One More Time. Thanks to these successful films, her career as an actress began doing so well despite the rough patch she started off with after the release of  ‘The Rum Diary,’ that did not do so well.

6. Amber filed for divorce just a year after tying the knot

Unfortunately just one year after getting married, Amber Heard filed for divorce from Depp, citing “irreconcilable differences.” That same year, she also filed a temporary restraining order against him since the petition she filed contained photos of her with multiple bruises on her face, allegedly caused by Depp.  They reached a $7 million divorce settlement on August 16th, 2016.

7. Heard was sued for Defamation

In 2018, Amber Heard wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post that was title, “I Spoke Up Against Sexual Violence – And Faced Our Culture’s Wrath. That Has To Change.” This was the beginning of her infamous character that most people ended up hating and what caused her a number of lucrative roles. Why? Because Depp refused to have his name tainted and filed a defamation suit against her over the article. In April 2022, their defamation trial began and in the end, Heard was found guilty. Depp was awarded $ 15 million in damages (later reduced to $10 million) and Heard was awarded $2 million in damages which she of course appealed. Eventually, Amber and Johnny settled in December 2022.

8. People petitioned to have Heard be removed from Aquaman 2

During the defamation trial process, Fans of Johnny Depp all over the world petitioned to remove Heard from Aquaman 2 as soon as it was learned that the tapes submitted to the court were of her admitting to hurting Johnny Depp. Within no time, it was announced that the actress had reduced screentime on the DC film, Aquaman 2 although some fans felt like that wasn’t enough punishment.

9. Her most notable role as an actress was in Justice League

It has been noted that Amber Heard’s portrayal of Mera in the DC verse in the 2017 film, ‘Justice League,’ was perhaps her most notable role and work in he acting career. She reprised this in the 2018 film, Aquaman alongside Jason Momoa and its sequel, Her portrayal of Mera in the DC-verse in the 2017 film Justice League is perhaps her most notable role and one that she reprised in the 2018 film Aquaman with Jason Momoa and its sequel, Aquaman 2 and the Lost Kingdom, which premiered in 2023. Heard was however dropped due to the whole defamation trial case that did not favour her whatsoever.

During the 2016 divorce proceedings between Depp and Heard, it was revealed that in 2009, Amber Heard had been arrested in Washington state on a misdemeanor of domestic violence charges. She had allegedly grabbed Van Ree (she was in a relationship with Heard from 2008 to 2012) and hit her arm. Heard was never charged however since Ree issued a statement stating that the incident had been 鈥渕isinterpreted and over-sensationalized鈥� and Amber had been 鈥渨rongfully鈥� accused.

Unfortunately, whenever one hears the name Amber Heard, all that comes to mind is how manipulative and evil she could be. She managed to hide her true self and to date, she is quite popular and famous but for all the wrong reasons.
