Amber Heard: Johnny Depp 'Lights Up A Room'

Amber Heard has been quoted gushing about rumoured love interest Johnny Depp.

The famous character actor announced his split from Vanessa Paradis earlier this week, and was immediately linked to his 'Rum Diary' co-star.

"He lights up a room," she apparently said. "He looks even better close up. Johnny is a wonderful, special person."

Speaking to Entertainmentwise when the film was released late last year, the blonde bombshell was full of praise for Depp.

"Working with Johnny is wonderful," she said. "I didn't know what to expect and didn't know what I was getting in to. Anything I expected he far surpasses.

"He's wonderful to work with, everybody on set respects him and likes him, and it's because he brings so much to work with him in such a wonderful presence.

"People are drawn to him in a way I've never really seen before. Perhaps that's why he is the movie star that he is. I also respect his work ethic, he's true character actor trapped in a leading man's body, and I respect that."

On Friday we told of a bizarre rumour that Depp had bought Heard a horse, so that they could go riding in between filming commitments.
