The actors who play Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in the new movie based on their trial opened up about why they took on the controversial roles. 'It's a risky role. I had questions...'
The actors who play Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial have explained why they agreed to take roles in the hotly debated film. The Depp/Heard trial was one of the biggest celebrity news events of the year, beginning with comments that Heard made in 2018 leading the public to believe that her ex-husband Depp had committed domestic abuse, which led to the actor losing roles in certain upcoming projects.
Hapka: When I was offered the role, it wasn't necessarily a hell yes. It's a risky role. I had questions. I got on the phone with our director and I spoke to our producer and wanted to find out what kind of movie they were going to make, because if there was going to be any type of bias or sway to either side, then I really wasn't interested.
Hapka: I knew this movie was getting made with or without me. Megan and I sat down and spoke together and she goes, "I'm going fully protect Amber, and you're going to fully protect Johnny," so in doing so, in that tug of war, we can find that balance and make sure everything stays as neutral as possible.
Hapka: We expected every bit of backlash. This was such a moment in the cultural zeitgeist with so many layers, where each individual you ask will perceive this trial completely differently; there's no objective truth to it, so I think that in that sense, I wasn't too worried about it because I was just there to do my job, which was to bring authenticity to the testimonies and bring to life what was said by each person as a dramatization.
