Johnny Depp: Amber Heard Thought Career Would ‘Skyrocket’ After Marrying Him

Sadly, what she really wanted was her career to take off. Looks like she's back to where she started from. What a waste! Amber Heard, 30, filed for divorce from Johnny Depp, 52, citing irreconcilable differences. Looks like some of those differences could have been her career trajectory. The starlet wanted her career to "skyrocket" after marrying Johnny, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Find out all the details!

“Amber really thought her career would skyrocket after marrying Johnny and it didn’t. She is very career driven and wants to be one of the biggest stars in the film industry,” an insider spilled to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Hmm. Well if those were her motives, maybe she was tired of waiting around for her career to take off. Seems like not much happened since she married Johnny then a bunch of legal drama.

“She’s focused on that and having to babysit Johnny and deal with his emotional ups and downs was too much,” our insider dished. Burn! Looks like things were less than pleasant for the couple in the last few months, and things just weren’t kosher for Amber.

Other than a few supporting roles in Magic Mike XXL and The Danish Girl, there wasn’t a whole lot of traction for Amber’s career. Actually, it pretty much stayed the exact same from before she married Johnny. So if she was looking to link herself to his celebrity and status, it didn’t really do much for her.

Maybe all of the press from the divorce will help to put her back on the radar of Hollywood directors and make her a major star in her own right. Who knows! It looks like she may have to do the same thing as the rest of us and work her way up. Such a shame!
