In just one short year, Amber Heard has transformed from arguably the most hated woman on the planet to some kind of new and improved Spanish celebrity.

Amber moved to Madrid months after she was sued by her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, for defamation. In a viral TikTok video, Heard answers questions from reporters, saying in Spanish, “I love Spain so much.”

When they asked if she plans on staying, she replied, “Yes, I hope so. Yes, I love living here.”

After being asked if she has movie projects on the horizon, she says yes and adds, “I move on. That’s life.”

It turns out that exiling yourself to a new country for privacy can be an effective PR strategy. Take note, Harry and Meghan. 

Amber was spotted at the Taormina Film Festival on the weekend, for her first public event since the trial in June 2022. Her new movie In The Fire will be her first film since DC Studios released Zack Snyder’s Justice League in 2021. 

In The Fire follows a widowed American psychiatrist who “arrives in a rich farm in Colombia after being called to solve the case of a disturbed child,” whose mother is concerned by a local priest’s accusation that the child is possessed by the devil, according to an official synopsis for the film.

“When the doctor arrives, she discovers that the boy’s mother is dead and that the father himself has begun to believe in the possible possession of the child.” 

Fans are enthusiastic about Heard’s return to the screen, with some calling it her “renaissance,” with others saying “Seeing all the support for her makes me so happy.”

Heard resurfaced just a month after her ex, Johnny Depp, appeared at the Cannes Film Festival over the border in France for the premiere of Jeanne du Barry, his first film since the divorce and defamation debacle. Cockburn is relieved to see the pair back working again, separately — as, no doubt, are the chambermaids of western Europe…
