Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s million-dollar defamation lawsuit turned a funny turn when the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s doorman brought laughter to the courtroom with his bizarre testimony.
During Wednesday’s proceedings in the ongoing battles, the jury listened to 58-year-old Alejandro Romero’s unorthodox testimony.
Romero, who has worked at the Eastern Columbia Building in LA where Depp owns five penthouses, detailed the incident when Heard asked him to look into an intruder after the dog scratched their front door.
Romero said in a pre-recorded video that he thought to himself, "What?' Four inches off the ground? The dog was scratching."
"In my head, you think someone is trying to get into your unit with scratches four inches above the floor?" he said while vaping and driving in the video clip.
Reacting to Romero’s funny testimony, Depp burst out laughing and the public gallery also joined in with Romero adding, "They were terrified”.
"They asked me to go inside the unit and inspect each room individually. It's part of my job, so I did it," Romero told the court.
