   Johnny Depp appears to be trying to show the world he is a happy   
   man despite him still trying to fight his ex-wife Amber Heard in   
   court.   
      
   The scandal-ridden actor appeared for a photo op at the BCN Film   
   Festival. The event is based in Barcelona, Spain. Depp was there   
   to promote his film The Minamata Photographer. He portrays war   
   photographer W. Eugene Smith in the film directed by Andrew   
   Levitas.   
      
   Depp has a lot of the line with the film. Due to his scandals,   
   Depp doesn’t have any projects secured for the future at the   
   moment. This is the last film he worked on that is currently   
   scheduled for release.   
      
   In the photos, Depp appeared to be in good spirits despite his   
   awful year. Last month, the Pirates of the Caribbean star was   
   shut down in his attempt to appeal the ruling in his libel   
   lawsuit against the publisher of The Sun newspaper.   
      
   In 2018, Depp sued the publisher accusing them of tarnishing his   
   good name by labeling him a “wife-beater.” The article detailed   
   the numerous accusations of domestic violence by his ex-wife,   
   Amber Heard.   
      
   The legal battle dragged on for years with Depp trying to take   
   down whoever tried to get in his way. He forced his ex-wife, who   
   accused him of violent abuse, to take the stand to be grilled   
   about her allegations.   
      
   In June 2020, Depp decided to take the stand himself and denied   
   Heard’s claims. It all came to an end when the high court came   
   back with a decision in November 2020. They ruled Depp did not   
   have a case because 12 of the 14 alleged incidents by Heard had   
   been proven to a civil standard.”   
      
   In his attempt to appeal the verdict, Depp argued the judge who   
   presided over the trial had failed to assess the evidence   
   properly. The actor demanded a full re-trial. He asked the court   
   to allow him to introduce new evidence which he claimed would   
   hurt Heard’s credibility. Depp’s request was shut down.   
      
   In a separate case, Depp filed a defamation lawsuit against   
   Heard seeking $50 million in damages. He accuses his ex of   
   ruining his reputation in a Washington Post op-ed. In the piece,   
   Heard wrote, “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our   
   culture’s wrath. That has to change”   
      
   Depp claims the article, which didn’t mention him by name, cost   
   him work. During the court battle, Depp has tried everything in   
   an attempt to discredit Heard.   
      
   Recently, the actor claimed never-before-seen body cam footage   
   “proves” his infamous fight with Heard never took place. For her   
   part, Heard has presented numerous photos of her bruises and   
   videos of his violent outbursts in past legal proceedings.   
      
   In new documents, Depp claims the new police testimony will show   
   Heard lied about a fight she claims went down in their Los   
   Angeles penthouse. Depp’s lawyer claims, “Amber Heard and her   
   friends described a chaotic, messy crime scene but the newly   
   released LAPD body cam videos unambiguously show that the   
   penthouse was utterly undamaged and that their testimony was one   
   more grandiose lie.”   
      
   Heard has yet to respond to Depp’s claims regarding the LAPD   
   body cam footage. The case is headed to trial later this year.
