Many are wondering about the surnames mentioned in the correspondence of the former couple.
The public trial of two famous actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is expected to end next week, but many are wondering about the nicknames mentioned in the couple's correspondence.
Last week, jurors were shown love notes penned by Heard to Depp in 2015. The notes describe the Pirates of the Caribbean star as a friend who had fallen in love with Heard.
The Aquaman actress shared her feelings for Depp in her letter, writing: "True love isn't just about the madness of passion or choosing the security of peace instead. No, it's about having both. Your friends." To fall madly in love with."
Emphasizing Depp, Hurd continued: "You're the last thing in the whole world that deserves this, [the] last person I ever wanted to hurt. I love you, Steve. I'm yours forever." XX Slim."
The actor's full name is John Christopher Depp II, so the surname 'Steve' has nothing to do with his given name. Appropriate for a couple they met while working on a film set, the nickname comes from the 1944 film To Have and Have Not.
The film stars Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart in the lead roles, and their characters are named Slim and Steve, respectively.
Like Heard and Depp, there is a great disparity in the ages of fictional characters (Depp is 22 years older than them). Although explaining the surname during his testimony last month, Depp outlined the origins of the two surnames in his mind.
"I was old crooked bogey, and he was this beautiful creature, this amazing creature," he told the court.
Love notes have become a significant part of the trial in recent times, with the two reportedly giving insight into the relationship between the actors who were together in 2015.
