The 39-year-old actress from Texas has kept a pretty low profile in recent years, especially after the widely publicized legal battle with her ex-husband Johnny Depp.
Following her loss in the high-stakes defamation trial in 2022, she quietly left Hollywood behind and moved to Madrid. Reports even suggest she changed her name to blend in more naturally with the local community.
Since the trial wrapped up, fans have caught occasional glimpses into her new life, but we haven’t really seen her back on screen in quite some time.
Her most recent acting credits came in 2023, when she starred in the thriller In The Fire by Conor Allyn and also returned as Mera in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
The London Fields star just revealed that she’s entering a brand new ‘era’ following the whirlwind she’s experienced over the past few years.
In the light-hearted photo, she’s grinning and sticking her tongue out. Alongside the picture, she wrote: “In my theatre era.”
She’ll be joining Brandon Flynn and Lío Mehiel in the production, which is set to open at the 2025 Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts next month.
Jeremy O. Harris shared that a good portion of the script is actually written in Spanish. Interestingly, he admitted he doesn’t speak the language himself, but given Heard’s time living in Madrid, she’s likely picked up quite a bit.
“I wanted to challenge myself.” Harris told Variety. “The play is half in Spanish, and I don’t speak Spanish.”
Fans seem genuinely excited to see Heard on stage again. One person shared their enthusiasm on X, writing: “Amber Heard getting casted in a play and posting again. The world is healing.”
Someone else commented about her selfie with Harris: “This photo just added 10 years onto my life.”
And another added: “Amber Heard is slowly but surely getting her life back.”
Meanwhile, in a recent explosive interview, Johnny Depp opened up about why he pursued legal action against Heard.
He referred to himself as a ‘crash test dummy’ for the MeToo movement while discussing the case.
