Johnny Depp categorically denies having abused ex-wife Amber Heard in a new interview.

the "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald", the actor spoke with the British GQ in an article published Tuesday and looked at the charges and the consequences that resulted.

"The thing that hurt me, it's to be presented as something you're really as far as you could get, you know?", He told the magazine .

Heard claimed that Depp, whom she divorced in 2017, assaulted her. She requested a no-contact order against her while presenting evidence of harm, including a cheek bruise, claiming that the actor had recently thrown a cell phone over her face. Los Angeles police who went to his downtown loft on the night of alleged mistreatment said they found no evidence of a crime upon his arrival.

"Harm someone you love? As a kind of bully? No, it does not, it could not even look like me, "insists Depp in his new profile. So at first I just kept quiet, you see? I knew it would stay with me and it would become stranger … Spit out what you need to spit and, you know, my lawyers will do the rest. "

But for Depp, the claims did not come without consequences.

"I could feel people watching me differently because of the accusations against you," he said. "Then people start putting things in magazines:" He's crazy. He must pass a common sense test … You know, ridiculous stuff. "

"I'm sure it was not easy for my 14 year old boy to go to school, do you know what I mean?" the 55-year Oscar nominee said. "With people leaving," Hey, look at this magazine, man. What, your father beats girls or something? "Why did he have to do that, why did my daughter have to do that?"

Yet Depp thinks that his name will one day be erased. "In the end, the truth will be revealed and I will stand on the right side of the roaring rapids," he said. "I know the truth and if I had to get away from it all today, from my job, from my career, from all that, and go home, so all is well."

As to whether or not he thought of regaining love, Depp simply replied "No".
