"I'm not one to talk about my personal life as I prefer to keep that as private as possible," she told UK publication Metro. "There has been a lot of media attention surrounding my relationship. It's been frustrating as I don't label myself one way or another - I have had successful relationships with men and now a woman. I love who I love, it's the person that matters."
  23. Amber Heard is an avid reader. She always carries weathered, secondhand books such as Thomas Jefferson's "The Jefferson Bible: The Life and Morals Of Jesus Of Nazareth." In an interview with Net-A-Porter, Heard stated, "knowledge is my religion," and she also mentioned she can talk about literature for hours on end.
  24. She is a hard worker. Heard doesn't get a free ride for being beautiful! To land her part alongside Johnny Depp in The Rum Diary, it took persistence on her part. "I auditioned several times for this part, and it was a grueling process in my opinion, just because of nerves and a lot of energy that goes into any such process," she asserts. "But I think the best things in life and the most rewarding things in life are the ones that don't come easy anyway, so this was no exception to the standard."
  25. Heard was reported to have won The Rum Diary role out over Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley.
  26. She is really into classic cars. "I spend all my money on classic cars," she enthuses. "I've had loads. Right now, I have a 1968 Mustang and a 1967 Mercedes 250SL. I try to fix them up myself as much as I can, buying the parts on eBay."
  27. She got engaged to actor Johnny Depp in 2014.
  28. Depp met Heard, whom he calls "a Southern Belle," on the set of 2010′s The Rum Diary. At the time, Depp was with Vanessa Paradis and Heard with van Ree. Depp and Heard reportedly didn't start dating until 2012, when they had both split from their respective partners.
  29. Depp says the age gap doesn't make a difference in their relationship. He told the Daily Mail: "I don't think so. I've got a lot of life experience, certainly, but I don't feel like I'm looking down on her. I actually feel like she's the one inspiring me."
  30. Depp's fondness for Amber Heard was very clear during interviews to promote the movie. Depp praised her by saying she has the grace and talent of the actresses of yesteryear: "She's of another era, you know. It's like walking into a room and meeting Lauren Bacall or Betty Davis. ... She's quite something, you know. She's very special."
  31. She is quite a private person. "It's not part of my professional life. I want to be an artist," she told Flare magazine in 2013. She'll fit right in with notoriously private Depp, then, with his private jets and private islands.
  32. Amber is a certified lifeguard.
  33. Amber Heard is tight with her younger sister, Whitney. The two are very close in age, and Whitney is often seen shopping the boutiques of L.A. and attending red carpet events with the actress.

  34. Her favorite pastime hobbies are horseback riding, diving, rock climbing, golf and swimming.
  35. She's a prankster. At the LA premiere of Paranoia, Amber Heard fessed up to hatching a naughty hoax to shock co-star Liam Hemsworth. "I saw a discarded large dildo in the prop truck and I asked if I could borrow it, and after not so long of a pause the prop guy happily handed it over to me," she reveals. "I talked to Robert [Luketic, director] and the producers and made sure that once we got the take we could ask for one extra. And unbeknownst to Liam, I just switched out my arm for the dildo."
  36. Heard has one of the best bodies in Hollywood, but she isn't jumping on the "I've just good genes" bandwagon. In addition to watching what she eats and drinks, she enjoys running, playing tennis and taking Pilates. "There's no 'I don't diet, I eat what I want, and this is how I look," the leggy beauty told Women's Health in a recent interview.
  37. Amber Heard understands how the movie industry works. "At first, you've got to take guest appearances on TV shows, which I did plenty of," she says. "I did plenty of topless scenes, too, which are in movies for no reason other than they're topless. I paid that small price, which you have to do to go further. But I always knew what I was doing in a movie. If my role was nothing but that, I could make the decision, as an adult, whether to use it to my advantage or not."
  38. It might be hard to imagine how anyone could ever forget a flawless mug like Heard's, however her Paranoia co-star Richard Dreyfuss managed to do so on more than one occasion!
