After Johnny Depp’s name previously appeared on today’s witness list for ex-wife Amber Heard’s defense team, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor won’t be returning to the stand after all, TheWrap has learned.
“Calling Depp back to the stand would be as relevant to us as a bicycle to a fish,” a source close to Heard said Monday afternoon, explaining the decision. “Everything Depp has testified up to this point has been irrelevant to the heart of this case, and there’s no reason to believe it would be any different now.”
The actor had been listed as the third defense witness of the day in his defamation trial against Heard, before the plan changed.
