Johnny Depp Opens Up About Struggles with Mental Health and Isolation.
In a candid interview, Johnny Depp revealed his battles with mental health and isolation following his high-profile divorce from Amber Heard and career setbacks.
“I was in a dark place,” Depp admitted. “The breakup, the constant scrutiny, it took a toll on my mental health.”
Depp and Heard’s tumultuous relationship ended in 2017, with both parties accusing each other of abuse. The aftermath left Depp reeling.
“I felt isolated, alone,” he said. “The media frenzy surrounding our divorce made it impossible to escape.”
Depp also faced career setbacks, including the disappointing reception of some of his films and being dropped from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
“You start questioning your own identity, your purpose,” Depp confessed. “It’s a difficult place to be.”
However, Depp found solace in his art and music. He reunited with his rock band, Hollywood Vampires, and began painting again.
“Creative expression saved me,” Depp said. “It allowed me to channel my emotions, find some sense of peace.”
Depp emphasized the importance of seeking help and support. “I’m not ashamed to admit I needed it,” he said.
Now, Depp is focusing on his well-being and revitalizing his career with upcoming projects, including the highly anticipated film, “Jeanne Du Barry.”
