Amber Laura Heard (born April 22, 1986) is an American actress. She played the lead and title character in All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2006. Heard's first starring role came in 2007 on the CW television show Hidden Palms. Her breakthrough came in 2008 with roles in Never Back Down and Pineapple Express. In 2009, Heard starred in The Stepfather and also had a small role in the horror-comedy Zombieland. She next starred in The Joneses and And Soon the Darkness (both 2010), John Carpenter's The Ward, alongside Nicolas Cage in Drive Angry, and alongside Johnny Depp in The Rum Diary.Amber Heard, one of the stars of the upcoming series "The Playboy Club" (you may recognize her also from "Zombieland" and "Drive Angry"), talked with Playboy magazine for its 20Q section.Among those revelations:Hollywood actresses age in dog years. I'm 25 to the rest of the world, but I'm about 48 in actress years. I'm just around the corner from my midlife crisis. I don't know if you've heard, but Hollywood can be a draining industry."Heard co-stars with Johnny Depp in the upcoming film version of Hunter S. Thompson's "The Rum Diary." Of that film - and whether she used drugs during its filming - she says:Not at all. Trying to film a movie on a diet is hard enough; I can't image how it would be on drugs. I stayed true to Hunter S. Thompson's spirit in other ways. I kept his book in the pocket of my cast chair the entire time we were filming. That made me feel connected to the bigger picture, of our goal to do justice to a wonderful piece of literature and a legend."The actress also fills in readers on her nude scenes in movies and her opinion on "Gloria Steinem's perspective" of feminism.
Personal life:
According to AfterEllen.com, Heard came out in 2010, at GLAAD's 25th anniversary event. She is dating artist Tasya van Ree. She has said about her sexuality: "I don't label myself one way or another – I have had successful relationships with men and now a woman. I love who I love, it's the person that matters."Heard grew up around guns, and owns a .357 Magnum. A fan of muscle cars, Heard drives a 1968 Ford Mustang. She has previously driven a '67 Mercedes and a '62 Checker Cab, as she revealed to Jeremy Clarkson during her Top Gear interview.In February 2011, she appeared on Top Gear in the UK.
