The 59-year-old actor is said to have been linked to barrister Joelle, 37, after she worked with him on his libel case against The Sun newspaper in 2018. A source told UsWeekly, “Their chemistry is off the charts. They’re serious. They’re the real deal.” The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, who was previously married to “Aquaman” actress Amber Heard, lost a libel case against the British tabloid but won a defamation case against his ex-wife, in which she claimed that they had been victims of alleged domestic abuse throughout their marriage for a magazine article. The insider went on to note that while Joelle, who did not work on his defamation case, had no “professional” obligation to be present at the hearing in June, she attended the Virginia court to show her “support” for Johnny and claimed the pair were “meeting” in hotel rooms in the early days of their romance. The source told UsWeekly: “There was no professional obligation for her to be there. It was personal. She wanted to show her support.[JohnnyandJoelle’discreetlymetupinhotelroomsduringtheearlystages”[ΟΤζόνικαιηΤζοέλσυναντήθηκανδιακριτικάσταδωμάτιατουξενοδοχείουκατάταπρώταστάδια”[JohnnyandJoelle’discreetlymetupinhotelroomsduringtheearlystages” It comes after news that the famous libel trial is to be the subject of a new film and has been ‘posted’ into production.
