Hollywood star Johnny Depp has revealed that he does not harbor hate anymore, after the bitter legal fight with his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard.
The pair's amicable breakup in 2016 resulted in a long period of turmoil personally and professionally for Depp. His career suffered enormously after Heard wrote an op-ed in which she wrote about escaping domestic abuse. Depp then sued her for defamation subsequently, triggering a highly publicized court drama.
Addressing The Telegraph, Depp explained: "This sounds like… but one can just keep hate [until it] breeds some sort of malice in your head.
He went on: "Makes you think of revenge. But hating someone is a great big responsibility to hold on to. The real truth of it, that I won't let happen, is that in order for me to hate, I have to care first. And I don't care. What should I care about? That I got done wrong to (by others)? Plenty of people get done wrong."
Explaining why he decided to take legal action, the actor stressed that he needed to right the story about him. Speaking to femalefirst.co.uk: "I didn't want a lie to be the deciding factor of whether or not I have the capability of making movies in Hollywood."
The Pirates of the Caribbean star confessed that the last few years have been a challenging and changing period in his life, but he is determined to move on.
"Enduring all that in real time was equivalent to seven or eight years," Depp explained. "It was a tough, painful, inner experience. Would I not have preferred not to endure something like that? Of course. But I learned far more than I ever hoped I could."
Now 62, Depp has before mentioned the sense of having been driven out of Hollywood back then, calling it time in the "wilderness." However, he insists he feels no bitterness over it.
Looking back in a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he stated: "It was a vast wilderness and ultimately that vast wilderness taught me a whole lot."
