blaming Amber Heard for Johnny Depp not being a movie star anymore is like saying John Lennon's assassination broke up The Beatles… it went back years earlier…
Look at ALL THE MOVIES, other than the Pirates franchise, that he did, from Transandence to Rum Diary to Mordecai to The Lone Ranger to name just a few, and they were all HUGE MONEY LOSERS… one after one he made bomb after bomb, and big budget ones at that…
He was getting in fights on and off sets, causing problems… causing law suits to studios for his behavior…
But the biggest thing that caused his once-huge career to fade is, he was no longer the suck-in-the-cheeks young sex symbol…
People think his talent exceeded his sex symbol status, but it was all together… Hell, even Marlon Brando's career faded the older he got and he was no longer perfect looking… that is, before a movie called The Godfather, which Depp has not had in the last 15 years…
that is, he NEVER had a great talent-proving film to get him to cross over as a character actor…
instead, remaining the leading man long after his prime, it was money-loser after money-loser, a bad attitude, and enough drugs to make his once pretty face look like overcooked hamburger meat…
he was fading long before Amber… period.
