Their courtroom chemistry is such that social media is agog with the idea that there might be more to Johnny Depp and Camille Vasquez’s relationship than depositions and subpoenas. 

The rumour mill has been fuelled by the film star and his lawyer piling on public displays of affection between cross-examinations, exchanging warm hugs, fond glances and hand-touching that certainly exceed the lawyer-client norm.

Impervious to the tearful testimony and emotional indignation of Heard, she’s been merciless in her treatment of the actress. At one point, she interrupted her, saying: ‘There’s no question yet, Ms Heard’, and on another occasion, she pulled her up for not answering her question.
