The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star’s attorney “wanted to humanize” the actor during his and his ex-wife’s 2022 defamation case in Virginia.

Johnny Depp's attorney feared he could lose his temper on the stand in the defamation case he brought against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, in 2022

Johnny Depp's lawyers have detailed the one thing that had them 'concerned' during the actor's infamous court battle with Amber Heard. The long-winded court case came about after Heard made accusations against Depp in an op ed piece for the Washington Post in which she described being a victim of domestic abuse.

This is likely a sentiment that's been shared by countless attorneys over the years. But with the high stakes and accusations of abuse made by Amber Heard, keeping Depp calm and collected was likely doubly important. And losing his temper could potentially change the way the jury perceived the 61 year-old actor.
