Johnny Depp sketches a woman’s portrait during trial Video goes viral
3 min readThe defamation trial between Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard has been filled with solemn and dramatic times. But the 58-year-old actor has found ways to keep himself entertained. On the ninth day of the hearing in Fairfax, Virginia, Depp appeared to be scribbling intently before proudly delivering an intricate design on a post-it note to his lawyer Benjamin Chew. User @dangiaplumbing4life submitted a video of the exchange to TikTok, and it has since gone viral, with 5.5 million views and 735.9k likes at the time of writing.
During his trial, Johnny Depp draws a portrait of a woman
The camera zoomed in on Johnny Depp’s drawing, which revealed itself to be a woman’s picture. As the Pirates of the Caribbean star murmured something in his ear, Depp’s lawyer, Benjamin Chew, pulled for his spectacles to inspect the sticky note more closely. Chew was thrilled with his client’s painting after a few moments of scrutiny, nodding in appreciation and bringing his hand to his heart. Depp responded with a smile, as though he was pleased with his doodles. With a variety of changes, the video has gone viral outside of TikTok. Another photo of the Edward Scissorhands actor doodled on ruled paper was shared on Twitter. He went even further this time, colouring it in with sharpies. Depp’s idle doodling is a testament to the times he has described “always turning to art,” presumably amid difficult times, according to the tweet.
