Sir Paul McCartney is facing controversy for showing a clip of Johnny Depp during his history making Glastonbury set. The former Beatle, 80, showed the actor, 59, using sign language on a giant screen behind him as McCartney sung the track ‘My Valentine’ that went with the music video. Depp, fresh from wining his defamation trial victory against ex-wife Amber Heard, 36, appeared in the 2012 video alongside actress Natalie Portman.
The clip featured Portman, 41, lip syncing to the music while Depp strummed an acoustic guitar, with the images also shown by the BBC in their coverage of the Worthy Farm festival. It comes after McCartney – who made history on Saturday night (25. 06.
22) as the oldest solo performer to headline Glastonbury – used the footage in his recent US ‘Get Back’ tour, while ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ actor Depp was in the midst of his six-week defamation trial against Heard. The rocker did not address Depp or his court case victory during his Glastonbury set, but the crowd erupted in cheers as soon as the actor appeared on screen. Fans are now flooding social media to share mixed reactions to the playing of the clip.
Some say they were disappointed he appeared to be backing the actor, while others sided with Heard in her court fight against Depp. But many others insist they loved seeing Depp during McCartney’s set. One person wrote: “Deeply disappointed in both Paul McCartney and Glastonbury for the Johnny Depp video.
Feel like it goes against everything Glastonbury stands for. ” Another hit out: “Not the cleverest thing to do. Paul – such a contentious judgement and a great way to alienate those who are not comfortable with the trial outcome.
