Johnny Says It ‘Wasn’t Easy’ For His Son Jack to Hear Amber’s Allegations—Here’s What He Thinks of His Dad Now

For years, Johnny Depp’s son Jack Depp has kept a relatively low profile despite his father’s career in Hollywood. While his sister Lily-Rose has seemingly followed in her dad’s footsteps, Jack prefers to lead a more private life. Of course, this only brings up questions for those who have followed Johnny Depp’s defamation trial with Amber Heard, as many want to know what Johnny’s son Jack really makes of the abuse allegations against his father and where he stands with his dad. Luckily, we do have some clues to share about Johnny and Jack’s relationship today.

Johnny welcomed his son, Johnny Christopher “Jack” Depp III, in April 2002 with his then-partner Vanessa Paradis. The former couple, who dated from 1998 to 2002, also share a daughter together: model Lily-Rose Depp, who was born two years earlier than her little brother in 1999. Like his sister, Jack was born in his mother’s home country of France. He was 10 years old when his parents split and his father moved on with Aquaman actress, Amber Heard. Johnny and Amber met for the first time in 2009 while working on the 2011 film The Rum Diary. It was during this time that Johnny began to develop feelings for the Pineapple Express actress, despite still being in a relationship with Jack’s mom: “I felt something I shouldn’t have,” the Pirates of Caribbean actor admitted during an April 2022 court hearing for his defamation trial against Amber, whom he went on to marry in 2015 after several years of dating.

In 2016, Amber filed for divorce from Johnny and was granted a restraining order against him. Their divorce was finalized in 2017 after they reached an out-of-court settlement, which left Amber with a sum of $7 million to later be donated to charity. Things got especially messy, however, when Amber wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post. In her 2018 article, the Zombieland actress described her experience as a victim of domestic abuse. While her story didn’t mention Johnny by name, it became clear to all who read the piece that the Alice in Wonderland star was her alleged abuser. Johnny vehemently denied Amber’s claims and went on to file a $50 million defamation lawsuit against her. Amber, for her part, countersued for $100 million.

Ever since their case first made headlines, many have wondered what Johnny Depp’s son, Jack Depp, thinks of the allegations about his dad. For more details about where their relationship stands now—including whether his son sides with him or his ex-wife Amber—just keep on reading below.

What was Jack Depp’s relationship with Amber Heard?

When his dad tied the knot with Amber, Jack was only 13 years old. At the time, Amber suggested that she had a great relationship with Jack and his sister, Lily-Rose, gushing about being their stepmom during an interview with Marie Claire in 2015. She described her relationship with Johnny’s kids as “an honor and the greatest, most surprising gift I have ever received in my life,” adding, “I feel new flavors that I didn’t know existed. New colors that I didn’t know existed have been added to my life. I’m so happy.”

In contrast, Johnny would later describe his kids’ relationship with Amber as “nonexistent” during an April 2022 testimony in court. “My kids are far more intelligent than I am,” he said at the time, before revealing that his daughter Lily-Rose didn’t even attend his wedding with Amber. “She and Ms. Heard were not on particularly great terms, for several reasons,” he shared. While Johnny did not say the same of his son, it’s possible that things were similarly strained between Jack and his former step-mother before her split from Johnny.

What is Johnny Depp and Jack Depp’s relationship?

So, what is Johnny Depp and Jack Depp’s relationship like now? Johnny’s son Jack lives an extremely private life, and as such, has never commented on Amber’s allegations or his father’s trial. But throughout the years, the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory actor has painted a solid picture of his relationship with his son. In 2014, Johnny couldn’t help but gush about his son’s talents. “My boy Jack, has always been a very talented draftsman,” he told the Inquirer at the time. “He draws really super well. He also plays music very well. He’s got a good feel for that. Aside from school plays and things, he hasn’t shown any desire to become an actor. Whew.”

While Jack isn’t following in his father’s footsteps as an actor, he does share some other similarities with his dad. The France-native, for one, bears a striking resemblance to his father. He also seems to have a not-so-lucky track record of being a bad driver. During a 2015 interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Johnny couldn’t help but laugh about his son getting behind the wheel: “He has my instincts, my boy, and he’s crashed about five golf carts,” Johnny joked. For what it’s worth, however, Jack was only 13 at the time, so it’s entirely possible he’s improved since.

After Amber’s allegations became public in 2018, Johnny expressed sympathy for his son for having to deal with public scrutiny over her claims. “I’m sure it wasn’t easy for my 14-year-old boy to go to school; you know what I mean?” Johnny told GQ in 2018. “With people going, ‘Hey, look at this magazine, man. What, your dad beats up chicks or something?’ Why did he have to go through that? Why did my daughter have to go through that?”

Johnny continued to express his desire to protect his son and daughter from criticism throughout the years. At the start of his defamation trial in April 2022, the actor shared that he felt the need to “clear the record” for the sake of his kids. “It was a complete shock,” Johnny said of Amber’s allegations. “It just didn’t need to go in that direction as nothing of the kind had ever happened. In the relationship, there were arguments and things of that nature, but never did I myself reach the point of striking Ms. Heard in any way, nor have I ever struck any woman in my life.”

Johnny continued, “The news of her accusations had sort of permeated the industry and then made its way through media and social media became quite a global, let’s say, ‘fact,’ if you will. Since I knew that there was no truth to it whatsoever, I felt it my responsibility to stand up, not only for myself in that instance, but stand up for my children.” He added, “I wanted to clear my children of this horrid thing they were having to read about their father, which was untrue.” While Jack has yet to weigh in on his father’s comments, it’s clear where Johnny stands as a father today.

New Report Says Jamie Foxx Is Learning To Walk Again Amid Mystery Health Issue. His Daughter Says He Was Playing Pickleball

It’s been nearly two months since Jamie Foxx’s family revealed that the Oscar-winning actor had been hospitalized due to a “medical complication” suffered on the set of his upcoming Netflix movie Back in Action, co-starring Cameron Diaz. Providing the most recent update on his health, his eldest daughter Corinne Foxx, had taken to social media to address the situation, saying her father was doing well and even engaging in activities like playing pickleball. Although in a new exclusive report, an insider claims the actor is currently undergoing intense physiotherapy to aid his recovery and regain his mobility.

While the true extent of the Soul star’s health condition remains shrouded in mystery, allegedly the 55-year-old actor has been facing mobility struggles since the incident on April 11 while filming in Atlanta. An insider told RadarOnline that Jamie is receiving treatment at one of the top physical rehabilitation centers specializing in stroke, brain, and spinal cord injuries. The insider told the publication:

“Jamie is receiving treatment at one of the top physical rehabilitation centers in the country. The clinic specializes in physical therapy programs to treat injuries or a physical condition that limits or prohibits the ability to walk or walk correctly. They teach people how to walk again at this particular clinic”.

In a post shared on Instagram in May, Corinne addressed the media coverage surrounding her father’s condition. She had shared a post from RapTV, which has since been deleted, claiming that the actor’s loved ones were “preparing for the worst.” However, she said these claims were erroneous and clarified that her dad had been out of the hospital for “weeks” and was recuperating. Now the unnamed source told RadarOnline that the actor’s condition is a bit more serious, continuing:

“Jamie would not be at this clinic if he was not impaired in some way as a result of whatever happened to him. But fans should rest assured: Jamie is in the best of care at this type of clinic”.

Foxx and his family have chosen to remain relatively silent about the nature of his recent health complications while appreciating the outpouring of love and support from fans and friends. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 actor briefly addressed the situation on social media on May 3, expressing his gratitude for the love he received.

Following the Django Unchained performer’s hospitalization, reports revealed that two of his ongoing projects, namely Back In Action and Beat Shazam, have resumed production in his absence. Back In Action is an action comedy for Netflix, while Beat Shazam is a game show where the Collateral star serves as the host alongside his daughter, Corinne Foxx, who acts as the show’s DJ. With Jamie’s blessing, Nick Cannon has taken over hosting duties for the game show.

We will likely hear from Jamie Foxx soon, with numerous exciting flicks set to hit the 2023 movie release schedule. Among his many upcoming projects, the Ray star is set to star in various action films, including God Is A Bullet alongside Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Maika Monroe, as well as Tin Soldier featuring Robert De Niro and Scott Eastwood, both slated for release this summer. Furthermore, he will be seen in the Netflix comedy They Cloned Tyrone alongside John Boyega, and he has also lent his voice to the R-rated talking-dog comedy Strays.

Jamie Foxx’s return to the screen is highly anticipated. Whether he’s enjoying a game of pickleball or continuing his rehabilitation, we hope the actor continues to prioritize his recovery. Given his ability to captivate viewers with his talent, and versatility, a successful recovery will assure audiences they can look forward to experiencing his exceptional performances for many years to come. Having so many upcoming 2023 roles, it’s great news to hear his recovery is in good hands following his recent health scare.

Nick Cannon said he believes Jamie Foxx will update fans on the health scare that sent him to the hospital in April “when he’s ready.”

“One thing I’ve always respected about how Jamie’s moved throughout his entire career, if you’ve noticed, he’s always been somebody who is extremely professional and extremely private,” Cannon told “Extra’s” Billy Bush.

“I mean, you don’t ever really hear anything other than just the great work that he puts forth as a professional and the fact that, you know, he’s handled this situation with the same manner, you only can respect that,” said Cannon.

He went on to add, “I believe when he’s ready, he’s going to address the awaiting fans in the world [about his health scare] the way that only he can.”

During the interview, Bush asked Cannon about reports that Foxx suffered a stroke and if he could give an update on his condition. Foxx’s family has not disclosed his medical condition.

“I’m probably in the same boat as you in that same sense of just knowing that, you know, as a friend, just being as respectful as I can, I don’t pry,” Cannon answered. “I don’t ask any other questions. And other than the information that’s given to me and, you know, what’s asked of me.”

He said the information that his family has put out “is the information that they want to be out there.”

“I was definitely one of those people initially with like the heavy-handed prayers… sending positive energy, love, and prayers,” he added. “And they were like, ‘Yo, we appreciate all of that, but we got it.’ And, you know, Jamie’s happy with the job that I did on ‘Beat Shazam.’”

Cannon took over for Foxx as guest host of the musical game show “Beat Shazam” after the 55-year-old was hospitalized in April. Kelly Osbourne took over as deejay for Foxx’s daughter Corinne.

Foxx broke his silence at the end of April, writing on Instagram, “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed.”

In mid-May, his daughter Corinne Foxx gave an update on Foxx’s condition, writing on her Instagram story at the time that her father has been “out of the hospital for weeks” and is “recuperating” – and even playing pickleball.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, Corinne shared on April 12 that her father experienced a “medical complication” the day before, and “quick action and great care” helped guide him toward recovery last month.

Amongst the many friends Jamie Foxx has in the entertainment industry, Nick Cannon is one of his closest ones. During this difficult health scare situation the actor has gone through, Cannon has made a public statement during an interview with the folks from Extra TV. He wanted to send a calming message to all fans who want to know what exactly happened to Jamie. Many different versions of what happened have emerged, some of them are quite conspiratorial, to say the least. But dropping information or statements from any source is hardly responsible, especially if these people who make such statements have an agenda.

Last Thursday, sme news of Jamie Foxx going blind due to taking the COVID-19 vaccine started circulating online but it came from a known anti-vaxxer. Until we get information from Jamie Foxx himself, there is no reason to post misleading information that will only get people even more worried than they already are. Nick Cannon wanted to send these people who worry a message and also to those who try to push their narrative by using this unfortunate event. As we expected, Cannon asked for patience and for better judgement when we are trying to find out what happened to Jamie. This is great advice from someone who actually has contact with the actor and his family.

Nick Cannon’s statement on Jamie Foxx’s health
