Amber Heard opens up about her looks, building her own Mustang, and her “salacious” love life in the June/July issue of W magazine.
Heard, who grew up in Austin, Texas and is now engaged to Johnny Depp, shares that she has a very close relationship with her father.
“He taught me a lot about animals, about cars, and about resilience,” she tells the magazine. “That’s what happens when your father doesn’t have a son.”
“I drew the line at learning about football. I had to rebel somehow,” adds Heard.
The actress still has a love of cars,and reveals she is forced to change vehicles every week to avoid the paparazzi.
“I do miss driving my Mustang,” says Heard. “I built it from scratch, and I love that car. But the photographers all know the Mustang, and I hate being hassled. So it’s stuck in the garage.”
Depp’s fiancée also admits to having a temper.
“Whenever my old friends meet someone I’m involved with romantically, they immediately warn them: ‘She may look refined, but when she’s angry, she can go trailer park really fast,’ ” she says. “But I’d always rather be passionate than bland. I can’t imagine living a quiet life.”
Heard met Depp on the set on the set of the 2011 film The Rum Diary, where she played the actor’s complicated and mysterious love interest.
“It’s very hard to find opportunities like that as a young romantic lead,” says Heard. “As a woman, I usually have two options: Sex Object or the Best Friend Who Isn’t Sexy. It’s not creatively fulfilling to just be sexy. I did nothing to look the way I look.”
“The genetic cards that anyone is dealt are not in their control, so to take pride in my looks would be a mistake,” she continues. “And besides, in L.A. there’s always someone more beautiful!”
As for her recent engagement to Depp, Heard says, “I haven’t noticed any change in my career.”
“For better or worse, I’ve always had a love life that seemed particularly salacious to some people,” the bisexual actress explains, adding, “Before, it was also seen as unconventional.”
