Johnny Depp is donating $1 million to five charities.

The money is from the settlement he was owed from Amber Heard stemming from their highly publicized defamation trial.

Sources tell CNN Depp plans to donate $200,000 to each of the five charities including the Make-a-Film Foundation and the Amazonia Fund Alliance.

A Virginia jury found both Heard and Depp liable for defamation in June 2022.

The former couple later came to a settlement in December with Heard agreeing to pay Depp $1 million in damages.
