Johnny Depp could become flooded with work offers after his defamation case against Amber Heard is settled, a leading PR expert has claimed.
The actor is currently suing Heard, 35, after she wrote an opinion piece in 2018, detailing her experiences with domestic abuse.
The article in question, initially published by the Washington Post does not name Mr Depp but legal representatives for Heard say it is protected by freedom of speech.
Lawyers for Depp say it “falsely implies” that she was a victim of abuse during their marriage.
Johnny, 58, has denied all allegations made by Heard.
Now, leading PR executive Vanessa Munnings has claimed the Pirates of the Caribbean actor could be inundated with job opportunities now.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, the founder of Leopard Print PR said: “Win or lose, Depp’s career has been in free fall and it appeared nothing was going to change that.
“But spend any amount of time on social media and you’ll see public opinion stacked largely against his former wife, with the actor stifling laughter in court and Heard being named as an alleged homewrecker in what has become the goldfish bowl of their lives

“A carefully considered strategy by one side or justice being done?”
She went on to add: “Regardless of what either party has or hasn’t done, stranger things have happened than a member of Hollywood glitterati surviving such a public circus and indeed legal allegations.
“You only have to Google to see how some megastars have overcome the stigma of court cases and go on to cash in super successful careers, with litigious backgrounds seemingly rubbed out.”

Sharing her expert opinion, Vanessa continued: “My thoughts are that Depp’s career will potentially skyrocket once again once criminal proceedings are over, while Heard, rightly or wrongly, has been painted into a corner and public opinion will continue to be against her.”
In 2020, Johnny sensationally claimed Warner Bros had asked him to resign following him losing his libel case against NGN.
Sharing a statement with his followers, he penned: “I wish to let you know that I have been asked to resign by Warner Bros from my role as Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts and I have respected and agreed to that request.”
The trial continues.
