Johnny Depp and his new wife Amber Heard were seen arriving at Brisbane airport by private jet on Tuesday as production on the newest Pirates of the Caribbean film recommences.
Johnny and Amber put on a show of unity as they stepped off the plane holding hands amidst rumours of marital woes. It’s been reported the pair had hardly been seen together since tying the knot earlier this year with People magazine claiming they were “leading separate lives.”
The couple appeared happy although Johnny’s right hand still appeared to be bandaged up with a red bandanna after he sustained an injury while filming.
Disney claim the rugged star was forced to head back to LA after hurting his hand in early March but rumours have since surfaced claiming he checked into rehab after partying too hard in Queensland.
“There are rumors on the set that he was in rehab,” an insider told People magazine.
“As soon as Johnny arrived in Australia, he was partying hard.”
In spite of a hectic film schedule, Johnny had been spotted partying at a Foo Fighters concert and even appearing on stage at another gig with his hard rocker pal Marilyn Manson.
“After he got injured, no one was surprised. He didn’t seem to care at all about filming and was all about partying,” the insider continued.
While filming can now recommence, it’s believed the 51-year-old’s absence could have cost the production millions.
Sydney Confidential claimed Johnny failed to board his private chartered flight from Los Angeles last week and was “missing for a week” causing principal photography to be pushed back yet again from its scheduled re-start date.
