The attorney admitted to not seeing his biggest films
Johnny Depp’s former lawyer has set the record straight after rumours she was dating him.
Camille Vasquez represented the Pirates of the Caribbean actor during his famous defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard in 2022.
And as much of the internet became overly obsessed with (and had nothing better to do but) watching the celebrities’ trial on TV, speculation began circling that there was a romance between Depp and the US attorney.

But despite the online chatter, Vasquez actually found out about these suspicions from her parents although they already ‘knew definitively’ that it was very much false.
Yep, she’s confirmed that there certainly weren’t sparks flying between her and the actor.
In an interview with Extra, shared yesterday (1 November), Vasquez firmly denied the dating rumours and even added that he’s not her type.

“I would never,” the attorney, who has also represented Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lopez, said. “Let me just go on the record here: never dated Johnny Depp. Never would date Johnny Depp. I think he's a lovely person… He's not my type."
And as well as having no attraction to the actor, she hasn’t even really seen him on the big screen ‘in any film’.
“Maybe Chocolat?” Vasquez said, referencing the 2001 rom-com with Judi Dench and Juliette Binoche.

Host Billy Bush asked the lawyer if she had at least seen Depp in one of the mega Pirates of the Caribbean films – because haven’t most of us? Well, no, it seems.
“Never to this day,” she admitted. “I have not seen him in Pirates.”
But while she might not necessarily be a big fan of his long list of films, Vasquez did say she was pretty taken aback by Depp when they first met.
"After maybe 30, 40 minutes of speaking with him, I remember having an out-of-body experience and looking at him and thinking, 'He views the world so differently than I do'," she recalled.

"He definitely uses a different part of his brain. He's such an artist."
Back in September, the actor said his life had become a ‘soap opera’ due to the trial with Heard.
Comparing his life to the artist Amedeo Modigliani’s while promoting his second directorial feature, Modi, Three Days on the Wing of Madness, he said: “Each [character] has their story because I’m sure we can say that I’ve been through number of things here and there.

“Maybe yours didn’t turn into a soap opera. I mean, literally, televised.”
Following the trial, Depp ended up being awarded $15 million, later capped at $10.35 million by the court. A separate verdict also saw Heard receive $2 million in damages.
