Attorneys for Johnny Depp made their final arguments on Friday (May 27) in the widely watched defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard, telling jurors that Depp's career had been ruined by false accusations and appealing to them to restore his reputation.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star, 58, sued Heard in Virginia for US$50mil and argued that she defamed him when she called herself "a public figure representing domestic abuse".
