Amber Heard reveals she was warned coming out as bisexual would end career
Danish Girl actress Amber Heard has said she was told revealing her bisexuality would end her show career.
Johnny Depp's ex-wife said film-makers doubted whether she could play a straight woman in a romantic lead role after she revealed her sexuality seven years ago.
Speaking at The Economist's Pride & Prejudice event in Modern York, she said: "It did impact my career, it was difficult.
"It was not easy. I was the only one productive in this way, so it was definitely complex because no one had done it.
"I did that even though everyone told me it would termination my career, without a doubt."
The year-old said she has never hidden her sexuality and did not make any big "coming out" announcement as has been reported.
"When I learn someone comment about me coming out, I ponder it's funny because I was never in," she said.

Amber Heard recently explained her decision to come out several years ago and revealed that a lot of people discouraged her from doing so.
While speaking at the second annual Pride & Prejudice Summit in New York Urban area (via People), Heard recalled the moment she admitted to everyone that she is bisexual. “Well, I always say in response – when I hear someone comment about me coming out, I think it’s funny because I was never in. In part because I was very stubborn, I guess, and also in part because I just didn’t feel it was wrong,” she said.
Talking about how coming out impacted her career, Heard said that a lot of producers told her things will became more difficult if she comes out. “I was the only one working in this way, so it was definitely difficult because no one had done it. I did that even though everyone told me that it would end my career, without a doubt. I rolled my eyes at that and I said, ‘Watch me do it,’ and I did,” she said.
