When Helena Bonham Carter Praised Johnny Depp’s ‘Manners’ While Defending Him Over His Libel Case: “There’s Something Quite Old-Fashioned About Him”

Published

There was a time when Helena Bonham Carter supported Johnny Depp over abuse allegations from Amber Heard. Since the defamation trial earlier this year, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor and Amber have not stopped hitting the headlines over something or the other. A lot of controversies have been surrounding the two.

After the Aquaman actress claimed that Depp abused her, things went south for him. JD lost roles, reputation, and money because of it. He filed a libel case against a newspaper, The Sun, that called him a ‘wife beater’ and a defamation suit against Heard. While he lost the former, he was victorious in the latter.

Back when his libel case took place in 2020, Johnny Depp received support from Helena Bonham Carter. Both the A-listers have worked on several films, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland, and more. Both even have said to create a close connection over the years.

This is why Helena Bonham Carter defended Johnny Depp over Amber Heard’s claims and his libel case against The Sun. While speaking with The Guardian two years back, the Enola Holmes actress said, “There’s something quite old-fashioned about Johnny, with these manners – none of it makes sense. But the man’s not stupid.” She added, “He wouldn’t have gone to this length if he thought he was in the wrong.”

Meanwhile, now the matters between Depp and Heard have escalated even further. After the recent defamation trial, The Rum Diary actress appealed the verdict. It was followed by an appeal from the actor’s side as well.

When it comes to their professional lives, Johnny Depp is back in action with a film and several more appearances lined up. Amber Heard seems to be taking a break from all of it. Helena Bonham Carter is busy with her acting career and recently appeared in Enola Holmes 2.

Keira Knightley Ponders a Swashbuckling Comeback in the Next Pirates of the Caribbean Installment

In a recent interview with Collider,Knightley was asked about the possibility of reprising her role as Elizabeth Swann in the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean” films. She responded by saying that she has not yet been approached about the project, but would definitely consider it if the opportunity arises.

“I don’t know if it’s happening,” Knightley said. “I haven’t heard anything about it. But, you know, I would always be open to the idea of revisiting Elizabeth Swann. It was a huge part of my life and career, and I’m very fond of the character.”

Knightley first appeared as Elizabeth Swann in the original “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” in 2003. She continued to play the character in the following two sequels, “Dead Man’s Chest” and “At World’s End,” before sitting out the fourth installment, “On Stranger Tides.”

While Knightley’s character was not present in “On Stranger Tides,” the film still managed to gross over $1 billion worldwide. The most recent entry in the franchise, “Dead Men Tell No Tales,” was released in 2017 and also went on to earn over $794 million globally.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, which has seen its fair share of ups and downs in recent years. Johnny Depp, who played the lead role of Captain Jack Sparrow, was dropped from the series following allegations of domestic abuse. The studio has since announced that it is planning to reboot the franchise with a new cast and crew.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the future of the franchise, Knightley’s potential return to the series would undoubtedly be a welcome sight for fans. Her portrayal of Elizabeth Swann was a key factor in the success of the early “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, and her absence from the later entries was felt by many.

Knightley has remained busy in the years since her last “Pirates” film, taking on a variety of roles in both independent and big-budget productions. She has been nominated for two Academy Awards for her performances in “Pride & Prejudice” and “The Imitation Game,” and has also appeared in films such as “Atonement,” “Anna Karenina,” and “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.”

Whether or not Knightley ultimately returns to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, her fans can look forward to seeing her in a variety of upcoming projects. She is set to star in the upcoming biographical drama “Silent Night,” as well as the action thriller “The Essex Serpent
