2017 People's Choice Awards: Johnny Depp Shares Touching Message for Fans Amidst Divorce from Amber Heard

By

Johnny Depp profoundly thanked his fans for their support in the midst of his divorce from actress Amber Heard, several days after proceedings were wrapped up. Upon accepting the favorite movie icon award at the recently concluded 2017 People’s Choice Awards, the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movie franchise star shared a moving message for his supporters. 

Depp said he had graced the event with his presence for the people who have been with him and gave him their trust regardless of the circumstances he have been faced with. The actor has already raked in 13 People’s Choice awards in the past. In his speech, he acknowledged the people behind the awards show for inviting him this year as well as the fans who have voted for him.


“I was very deeply affected by the kindness of your recognition and by your well wishes to my family and myself, which is why it’s especially meaningful for me to be here in front of you to say thank you,” the 53-year-old actor shared.


Following the celebrations at the 2017 People’s Choice Awards, details of Depp and Heard’s divorce settlement were revealed. These include the ‘The Danish Girl’ actress’ custody over their dogs and her receiving $7 million from Depp. As pointed out by The Guardian, Depp’s acting career has not done well and made much money over the recent years. Movies such as ‘Mortdecai’ and ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’ have been met with negative reviews, while the upcoming crime drama ‘London Fields’ remains in post-production. Even his appearance in ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ were found questionable by fans.


Meanwhile, other 2017 People’s Choice Awards winners include Ryan Reynolds for favorite actor and Jennifer Lawrence for favorite actress. Tom Hanks and Blake Lively also took home the favorite male and female dramatic movie actor awards, respectively. Favorite thriller movie award went to ‘The Girl on the Train’ while Reynolds’ ‘Deadpool’ was voted as favorite action movie. Rom-com ‘Me Before You’ was chosen as favorite dramatic movie.


Television categories for the 2017 People Choice Awards saw ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and ‘Outlander’ as big winners, whereas former flames Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears took home the favorite music artist awards.
