Does Johnny Depp struggle with addiction?
Depp has long been open about his struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. During his 2020 defamation trial against News Group Newspapers, it was revealed that the actor was diagnosed with "primary dopamine imbalance, depression, chronic substance abuse disorder and nicotine addiction."
Speaking at the trial, Depp said at the time, "I have been open about my challenges with alcoholism and addiction throughout my life. I started drinking and taking drugs when I was still a child. I am not in any way embarrassed to say this."
While he eventually battled to get sober, Depp was also diagnosed with depression and chronic substance abuse, as per The Mirror.
"We heard all the ugly details and saw the shocking video of him at his worst," said the source who spoke to Life & Style, as they referred to Depp's alcohol and substance abuse issues.
Johnny Depp is still 'affected' by Amber Heard drama, claims source
While the verdict in the highly publicized Depp vs Heard trial was in Depp's favor, the actor is reportedly yet to move on from the drama caused from his messy divorce and subsequent defamation cases.
"There are probably a lot of reasons [for which] he wants to check out, but some say the Amber drama still affects him," an insider claimed.
"He’s famous for falling down, picking himself up, brushing himself off and moving on, but he can’t do that forever, and at some point something is going to give," they added.
"Johnny is way too old to be acting like a young rock star. He’s just not bouncing back like he used to," the insider further alleged.
