Johnny Depp missed out on an £18 million ($22.5m) fee for Pirates of the Caribbean 6 and it was “impossible” to land him a major Hollywood film part after Amber Heard’s allegations of domestic abuse, according to his agent.
Depp claims he was dropped as swashbuckling pirate Jack Sparrow and “cancelled” after Heard wrote a 2018 op-ed piece for the Washington Post, alleging she had been the victim of physical and sexual violence.
