Eva Green: ‘Wonderful’ Johnny Depp will ‘emerge’ victorious in Amber Heard trial

Eva Green is the latest star to publicly show her support for Johnny Depp amid his ongoing defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.

The French actress, who starred with Depp in the 2012 fantasy “Dark Shadows,” posted a photo on Instagram Thursday of her and her former co-star posing together on a red carpet to promote their movie.

“I have no doubt Johnny will emerge with his good name and wonderful heart revealed to the world, and life will be better than it ever was for him and his family 🕊,” she captioned it.

The post received nearly 200,000 likes as of Thursday afternoon.

Fans who also support Depp commented, “He’ll get the justice he deserves and we know that!!!!” and “Thank you for your support to Johnny ❤️.”

A decade later, the “Edward Scissorhands” star, 58, is suing his ex-wife for defamation over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed, in which she called herself a victim of sexual violence and abuse.

Although the “Aquaman” actress did not name her ex-husband in the piece, she wrote it two years after she accused Depp of abuse in a 2016 restraining order request.

Depp’s legal team has been arguing during the defamation trial that Heard’s claims cost their client jobs, particularly a role in “Pirates of the Caribbean 6,” because his reputation had been tainted by the allegations.

However, Heard has maintained her accusations are truthful, alleging during her testimony that Depp beat and threatened to kill her when he abused drugs and alcohol throughout their relationship.

Aside from Green, a handful of other stars have spoken out in support of Depp, including Chris Rock, Joe Rogan and Ireland Baldwin.

Heard has received some support as well, from radio legend Howard Stern, Julia Fox and Depp’s ex-girlfriend, Ellen Barkin, who actually testified for the defense in court.

Depp is seeking $50 million and Heard has countersued for $100 million.
