Veteran Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke has called Amber Heard a ‘gold digger’ and came in support of Johnny Depp. The Iron Man 2 actor was talking to Piers Morgan on a British TV show called Piers Morgan Uncensored.

Mickey was asked about Johnny Depp’s legal battle with Amber Heard. “I know Johnny for many years but I don’t know him intimately. All I could say, I was in a similar situation one time where I was blamed for something I did not do. It cost me movie jobs for several years and a bad reputation but the truth came out. I felt like I died for somebody trying to get chopped down by some gold digger,” Rourke said.
