Johnny Depp’s celebrity lawyer Camille Vasquez has strongly rejected long standing rumors That she dated her A-list client — saying the Hollywood leading man is “not my type.”
“I would never,” Vasquez told ExtraTwo years later rumors spread that she helped the actor win a highly publicized $100 million defamation suit against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
“Let me go on the record here: Never dated Johnny Depp. She never dated Johnny Depp,” she said, insisting that they are still friends who keep in regular touch.
“I think he’s a sweet guy, it’s just…he’s not my type.”
Vasquez, 40, said the rumors were so strong at the time that she even called her parents to make sure they “knew for sure” she was not romantically involved with the actor.
In fact, the lawyer not only did not like Depp but was also never a fan of his films.
“I haven’t seen him in ‘Pirates’ [of the Caribbean],” he said of the hit series of films in which Depp played the beloved Captain Jack Sparrow.
“Admittedly, actually, never seen her in a movie… maybe ‘Chocolate?'” she said of the 2000 romance film with Juliette Binoche.
Still, Vasquez admitted that he was impressed by the actor when they first met – but just by how different he was.
“After about 30, 40 minutes of talking with him, I remember having an out-of-the-way experience and I looked at him and thought, ‘He sees the world very differently than I do,'” she said.
“He definitely uses a different part of his brain. He is such an artist.”
Vasquez was at the helm of Depp’s trial, during which he questioned Heard and nodded several times on the stand cross-examination of the actress,
