Robert Downey Jr FaceTimed Johnny Depp to congratulate him on his victory after the verdict in the much-talked-about defamation trial against Amber Heard was announced. Depp's friend, Josh Richman, revealed the moment during a charity live stream event for Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

He revealed during the live stream, "Other than Robert Downey, who FaceTimed first, he FaceTimed my phone. Cause that's my other oldest friend of 35 years. And Bob [Robert] loves Johnny. He FaceTimed me, and then you know he was like 'John, thank God it's over' and the next FaceTime was me and Adam and Johnny and that's for real."

Richman also added that Depp had no intention of asking his former girlfriend, supermodel Kate Moss, to testify during the trial because he knew how private she was as a person. But when Heard mentioned Moss, the model was "pissed" and was like "f*ck this." Richman added, "Her [Moss] goddaughter was like, 'Did Johnny Depp push you down the stairs?' She was like NO." Moss then testified at court and stated that Depp had never pushed, kicked, or punched her in any way or form.
