In a briefvideo circulating on TikTok, Heard answers questions from local reporters on the sidewalk, saying in Spanish, “I love Spain so much.” When they asked if she plans on staying, she replied, “Yes, I hope so. Yes, I love living here.”
After being asked if she has movie projects on the horizon, she confirmed that she does, adding, “I move on. That’s life.”

“The trial was beyond stressful for her and she just wanted to start fresh out of the country,” the source added. “She is excited about working and filming again. She was exhausted and disappointed about the trial. She felt she was mistreated. This is all behind her now, though.”
“She has new energy and is focused on things that she loves,” the source said.

In December, Heard revealed that she and Deppreached a settlement and dropped their appealsto the Virginia verdict.
She wrote in a statement that month, “It’s important for me to say that I never chose this. I defended my truth in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed. The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways women are re-victimised when they come forward.”
“Now I finally have an opportunity to emancipate myself from something I attempted to leave over six years ago and on terms I can agree to,” Heard continued. “I have made no admission. This is not an act of concession. There are no restrictions or gags with respect to my voice moving forward.”
Earlier this month, Depp, 59, was applauded as his French-language filmJeanne Du Barryopened the Cannes Film Festival,signing autographs before walking the red carpet. He later got emotional as the film received astanding ovation after its screening.

Added Depp, “I keep wondering about the word comeback because I didn’t go anywhere. As a matter of fact, I live about 45 minutes away. So yeah, maybe people stopped calling out of whatever their fear was at the time. But no, I didn’t go nowhere. I’ve been sitting around.”
