Amber Heard encourages other celebrities to come out
It was nearly five years ago that actress Amber Heard came out publicly as bisexual.
Since then, she’s gotten married her The Rum Diary leading man Johnny Depp and continued to work in films including Machete Kills, The Adderall Diaries and the current release Magic Mike XXL.
Heard, 29, doesn’t regret her earlier candor while attending a GLAAD event in Los Angeles in 2010 because she was being true to herself.
‘I don’t want to have to deny my sexuality in order to be me,’ Heard tells The Times of London. ‘But I don’t want to have to be defined by it. I’m fundamentally opposed to trying to edit myself to be palatable or popular. I don’t give a f**k. I fight, but I shouldn’t have to.’
Heard believes other celebrities should come out as well whether they are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
Here’s why: ‘I personally think that if you deny something or if you hide something you’re inadvertently admitting it’s wrong.’
Heard worked with Magic Mike XXL writers to write her character in the film about male strippers as bisexual even though ‘my character’s function has nothing to do with her sexuality.’
‘It’s a film about men seeking sexual attention,’ she says. ‘It gives the power position to women.’
