Johnny Depp, a famous actor, is facing a tough time in his life these days. When Depp’s former wife, Amber Heard, accused him of abuse, things started getting difficult for him.

Johnny Depp is thankful to his beloved fans
Depp said in the interview,
I’m proud of these people, because of what they are trying to say, which is the truth. The truth they’re trying to get out since it doesn’t in more mainstream publications. It’s a long road that sometimes gets clunky. Sometimes just plain stupid. But they stayed on the ride with me and it’s for them I will fight. Always, to the end. Whatever it may be.
Despite facing the most challenging phase of his life, Johnny Depp is optimistic. Apart from this, he is thankful to his devoted fans, who have unconditionally supported him during these challenging times.
