Johnny Depp jokes about severed finger after fight with Amber Heard
(image: https://live.staticflickr.com/3515/3210601866_e3b3683ab5_m.jpg)Johnny Depp jokes that his severed finger gushed like ‘Vesuvius' after it was sliced off during a blood-curdling fight with ex-wife Amber Heard in exclusive video footage obtained by DailyMail.com.
The Captain Jack Sparrow actor, 56, chuckles on camera as he reveals how he nicknamed the permanently-damaged digit ‘Little Richard.'
He also claims during a series of clips that he ‘protected' Heard in the aftermath of the March 2015 dust-up, pretending he trapped it in a door when the gruesome injury allegedly happened when she hurled a vodka bottle at him.
‘I was trying to get the finger back, you know,' he says, with a wry smile. ‘And then deal with the insanity of having had my finger chopped off by this woman that I was married to.'
The violent incident took place a month after the pair were married and while Depp was filming the fifth installment of the Pirates of Caribbean movie franchise in Australia.
It has become the couple's most memorable - and hotly contested - clash, with both sides offering radically different accounts in a string of legal cases that followed their bitter May 2016 split.

DailyMail.com's exclusive video is the first time the Oscar nominee has been seen on camera recalling the violent March 2015 night in his own words. Pictured: Depp's finger after the gruesome injury
Heard, 33, maintains in court filings that Depp severed the tip of his right middle finger while smashing a phone against a wall during a three-day booze and ecstasy bender. She also accuses her ex-lover of ripping off her nightgown, grabbing her breasts and strangling her during the ‘horrific' ordeal, producing texts from Depp to suggest the injury was self-inflicted.
‘I cut the top of my middle finger off… What should I do!?? Except, of course, go to a hospital…. I'm so embarrassed for jumping into anything with her… F**K THE WORLD!!! JD,' he wrote in one message.
The father-of-two also wrote to his personal doctor, David Kipper. ‘Thank you for everything. I have chopped off my left middle finger as a reminder that I should never cut my finger off again!! I love you, brother. Johnny.'
Depp has addressed the bloody altercation in court documents but DailyMail.com's exclusive video is the first time the Oscar nominee has been seen on camera recalling it in his own words.
The clip was part of a videotaped deposition for an entirely separate legal case settled last year in which Depp accused a former lawyer, Jake Bloom, of wrongly collecting millions of dollars in fees. ‘Basically I had a pretty nasty injury that I actually had to protect her at the time,' he says.
‘And so I said that it was caught in the door in these huge accordion doors at this house, that wasn't the case at all.
‘She smashed, she threw a vodka bottle at me and my, my hand was resting on the marble of the bar like that.
‘The first bottle went whoosh just past my ear. And the second one was a larger bottle and she threw it from about this distance and it smashed into the bar, which, this finger who I now call little Richard, was, the tip of the finger was severed and all the bone in here was completely shattered.'
Pointing to the visible scar on his finger, Depp, looking uncharacteristically clean-cut in a navy Tom Ford suit and tie, goes on: ‘I mean, it looked like Vesuvius and then I got infections. ‘I ended up with MRSA twice, so it was very complicated. I was trying to just get the finger back, you know. And then deal with the insanity of having had my finger chopped off by this woman that I was married to.'
DailyMail.com understands that Bloom's attorney, Bryan Freedman, brought the injury up because Bloom's law firm had prepared the post-nup agreement that Heard was asked to sign the night before the fight.

Depp has claimed in court filings that the Aquaman actress flew into a rage and attacked him after being asked to sign.
She claims, however, that Depp's temper flared as he accused her of having had an affair with her former co-star, Billy Bob Thornton. Depp does not dispute one of the more macabre elements of Heard's horrifying account - that he dipped the gnarled digit in blue paint afterwards and wrote ‘Billy Bob' and ‘Easy Amber' on a mirror.
Sources close to the star say he puts it down to being in an extreme state of shock.
Freedman doesn't bring that up, but he does ask Depp about ‘the story about a bottle and then Amber apparently created some story you punching a wall or something like that?'
‘She says that I did it myself, yeah, By punching a wall,' Depp scoffs.
‘I tell you, I'd like to see the reactions from scientists, I mean, physicians, who are familiar with this sort of trauma, this sort of thing, because I'd love to see her explain how someone hits a wall and if they put their fist through it, its dry wall or something.'
Depp and Bloom fell out after he accused his longtime lawyer Jake Bloom of improperly collecting more than $30m during their 18-year working relationship. An eight-figure settlement was reached last October, though Bloom's camp said they paid out only ‘fraction' of the original demand.
For Depp, the legal battles are far from over, however, as he prepares to square up to his ex-wife to in two separate defamation lawsuits either side of the Atlantic.
The Charlie and Chocolate Factory star has taken on News Group Newspapers in London over a 2018 article in The Sun newspaper that described him as 'wife beater', with Heard scheduled to give testimony. Later this year hostilities will switch to Virginia where Depp has filed a $50m suit over a Washington Post op-ed in which Heard lamented her experiences as a domestic violence victim.
