Johnny Depp has addressed an image shown to the High Court in London today in which he can be seen ‘strung out following a bender’.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star was snapped by his then-partner Amber Heard seemingly asleep in the upright position on a sofa.
In blue jeans a white t-shirt and open checked shirt, Johnny can be seen with his head slumped back.
At his crossed knees is a large quantity of melting ice cream.
Speaking in court on day five of the three-week showdown in London’s High Court, Depp said the image was the only one Heard ever showed him she had taken “following a bender”.
Heard is believed to have told Depp: “Look at what you’ve become. It’s pathetic.”

Earlier on in the day, the courts were shown an unsent email drafted by Heard following a row with Johnny.
Sasha Wass QC, acting on behalf of The Sun, brought forward an email drafted by Heard as evidence in which she told of her fear Johnny was at breaking point.
In it, she said she feared that the Disney star would kill himself.

The actress also wrote how “scared” she was at the time.
Writing in the unreleased message, Heard said: “I mean if he doesn’t know how scared I am, must be, then I must have overestimated him.
“…Know if anyone did this to you or lily rose [Depp’s daughter] – he’s f***ing kill them.
“He needs to be accountable. And aware enough to know that.
“To know how much I’ve been put through. And how scared I must be.

“I’ve given him a thousand sorrys and a thousand chances and couldn’t have been more supportive throughout.”
Heard added: “I am not going to live my future like this.
“I can’t sit back and be there when he finally kills himself.”
Depp is suing the publishers of The Sun, News Group Newspapers, for libel after an April 2018 article by Executive Editor Dan Wootton branded him a ‘wife beater’.
Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard is also appearing in the court as a key witness for the defence.
Johnny categorically denies claims that he was physically violent to Heard during their relationship.
Heard claims Depp was violent towards her 14 times.
