Johnny Depp Tells Fans 'Nothing Would Have Been Possible Without You' After Receiving Painting

Johnny Depp Tells Fans 'Nothing Would Have Been Possible Without You' After Receiving Painting

The actor thanked fans for their unwavering support during his defamation trial

Johnny Depp has sent a message of thanks to all of his fans after receiving a portrait of himself. See what he had to say below:

Depp has been joining Jeff Beck on his UK tour over the last couple of weeks following his highly publicised defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard, and over the weekend, they performed in Manchester.

And before the gig, the Pirates of The Caribbean star made the time to meet up with a fan who had painted a portrait of him.

In a video posted on Twitter, artist Scott Greenwood was seen presenting the piece to Depp and the actor took the opportunity to thank fans for their unwavering support during the court case, which he ended up winning.

He said: "Nothing would have been possible without you. Thank you and bless you all."

Depp was then seen giving Scott a hug and signing some prints of the piece.

Sharing the video to his account, Scott wrote: "WE GOT MY VIRAL PAINTING TO JOHNNY DEPP!! Thank you so much! I couldn’t have done it without you All!!"

This comes after fans were seen chanting 'innocent' at Depp during a recent gig.

On Friday (3 June), just 2 days on from the verdict announcement, the actor took to the stage in Scotland to play tracks such as 'What's Going On' and 'Isolation' alongside Beck, performing for approximately half an hour before coming back for an encore with a cover of The Beatle's 'A Day in the Life'.

Other fans chanted 'Johnny!' as the actor performed, though apparently not everyone was in the mood as some Beck fans are said to have told them to 'shut up'.

Depp has long denied the allegations of abuse made against him, and in a statement released following the trial, he told his supporters he had decided to go through with the legal proceedings in a bid to 'reveal the truth'.

"Speaking the truth was something that I owed to my children and to all those who have remained steadfast in their support of me. I feel at peace knowing I have finally accomplished that. I am, and have been, overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and the colossal support and kindness from around the world," he wrote in part.

Heard, however, has maintained that she was abused by her ex-husband and said she was 'heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway' of Depp.

Heard wrote an op-ed in 2018, which was published in The Washington Post, and in it, the Aquaman star claimed she was a survivor of domestic abuse.

And while it didn't name him, Depp argued that it damaged his career and cost him millions of dollars in lost work.
