During the latest court session in Johnny Depp’s high-profile defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard, which has been going on since April 11 on the outskirts of the US capital Washington, there were several moments of laughter. As the court questioned Johnny’s agent, driver, bodyguard, and wealth manager, the actor, as well as the rest of the courtroom, burst out laughing when the lawyer asked Johnny’s bodyguard if he saw him urinating.
Malcom Connolly, Johnny’s bodyguard for the past 23 years, was questioned by Amber’s lawyer via live video link. In 2015, Johnny and Amber were in Australia filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Malcom was asked if he had seen Johnny urinating in the foyer of their house during their time in Australia.
Connolly confirmed to People that he heard noise inside the house and saw Johnny. When Amber’s lawyer asked if he’d seen Johnny’s genitals, he denied it, saying, “I think I’d remember if I’d seen Mr Depp’s penis.” Johnny burst out laughing, shook his head, and covered his face with his arm.
According to an AFP report, Malcom claimed that Amber “wanted to wear the pants in this relationship” and was the one who started their fights. He claimed that Johnny had “a very high tolerance” for “any substance” when asked about his alcohol and drug use. “I believe Jack Sparrow was more inebriated than Johnny Depp,” he said.
Johnny and Amber met on the set of The Rum Diary, a Hunter S. Thompson novel adapted into a film. Amber had revealed several details about their tumultuous marriage in an op-ed piece, including her domestic violence allegations against him, which are now the subject of a libel lawsuit.
