« And the interesting thing is that it is merely a sliver of my life I have chosen to explore. »
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor even spoke about the trial during his discussion with The Sunday Times.
The 62-year-old said: « Look, it had gone far enough. I knew I’d have to semi-eviscerate myself. Everyone was saying, ‘It’ll go away!’ But I can’t trust that. What will go away? The fiction pawned around the f****** globe? No, it won’t.

« If I don’t try to represent the truth, it will be like I’ve actually committed the acts I am accused of. And my kids will have to live with it. Their kids. Kids that I’ve met in hospitals.
« So the night before the trial in Virginia, I didn’t feel nervous. If you don’t have to memorize lines, if you’re just speaking the truth? Roll the dice.
Depp said that while he knew none of it ‘was going to be easy’, he didn’t care.
“I’ll fight until the bitter f**king end.’ And if I end up pumping gas? That’s all right. I’ve done that before,” he added.
Depp went on to say that he was a ‘crash test dummy’ for the MeToo movement.
“And I sponged it, took it all in. And so I wanted from the hundreds of people I’ve met in that industry to see who was playing it safe,” he said.
