WandaVision actor Paul Bettany and movie legend Johnny Depp have a Hollywood friendship that most people are unaware of.

The two’s friendship was finally brought to light in February 2020, during a court hearing for Depp’s libel action lawsuit against The Sun, according to The Guardian.

Are Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany friends?

(In 2018, Depp sued the British tabloid when it claimed he violently attacked his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard.)

Text messages between Depp and Bettany were read aloud during the hearing, and let’s just say the majority of them were troubling.

Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany’s friendship may have come under criticism for their reported expletive-laced text messages about Amber Heard, but it began almost (b)romantically, according to Bettany.

Bettany told the Toronto Sun in 2014 that they met on the set of Depp’s 2010 romantic movie The Tourist.

Bettany may have been right about Depp and Bettany’s friendship lasting a lifetime after remaining by Depp’s side during the latter’s four-year-plus battle with Heard.
