Johnny Depp and Amber
Heard's former security
guard reveals what it
was like working for
the celebrity pair
Description:
Rick Wood was hired as the couple's security guard while the newlyweds were in Australia in 2015 and Depp was filming a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
This is the first time he has spoken publicly about Depp.
In an exclusive interview with 9News Queensland, Mr Wood described Depp as "laid-back" and "great" during his time on the Gold Coast.
"He stays in character so he's pretty much Jack Sparrow - great bloke," Mr Woods said. Mr Wood worked in security for 15 years looking after movie stars like Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, and Middle Eastern royalty.
While Heard has made claims her then husband was abusive, the experienced guard never saw any signs of violence.
"I couldn't see it in him and in my industry you know who's a wife-beater and who's not," Mr Wood said.
