Sometime in March last year, Johnny Depp caused the deferment of filming when he injured his finger in a non-filming related incident.
The movie’s production was delayed by four weeks because of Depp’s finger or hand injury as the report would have it back then. He went back to the US from Australia to undergo a surgery.
Now it has come out that the reason why he injured his finger is because of rage over allegations that his former wife was cheating on him. He was reportedly high on alcohol and ecstasy when he had that fit of rage that injured his finger.
Reports now have it that he then dipped the wounded finger in blue paint and daubed a message on the mirror, writing that his ex-wife was having an affair with veteran actor Billy Bob Thornton.
Production of “Pirates of the Caribbean 5,” which is rumored to have cost a staggering $320 million, was further embroiled in controversy when Amber Heard flew in from the US the couple’s Yorkshire terriers Pistol and Boo into Australia without undergoing the country’s strict quarantine laws.
Heard eventually admitted in court to the offense and was fined in the spring of this year before she and Johnny Depp made a bizarre apology video for the infraction.
