Amber Heard's attorney does bizarre Johnny Depp impression during trial

Johnny Depp's defamation trial against Amber Heard took another bizarre turn on Tuesday when the Aquaman 2 actress' lawyer appeared to attempt an impression of Depp's voice during questioning.

While on redirect, Heard's attorney Elaine Bredehoft asked the actress if she recalled testimony from the previous day, in which Depp's lawyer, Camille Vasquez, asked if she knew why Depp seemed to be avoiding eye contact with her during the trial. According to Vasquez, Depp's refusal to look at his ex-wife stems from a promise he made during one of the last times the estranged couple met with each other.

"He promised you you would never see his eyes again, is that true?" Vasquez asked Monday, to which Heard responded, "I don't recall if he said that."

The lawyer then played an audio recording of the 2016 meeting, in which Heard begs the actor to hug her to say goodbye, and he replies, "You will not see my eyes again."

"He's kept that promise, hasn't he?" Vasquez asked. "As far as I know, he cannot look at me," Heard answered.

On Tuesday, Bredehoft seemed to make light of that exchange, asking Heard if she remembered when Vasquez "played a tape in which Mr. Depp said, 'You will not see my eyes again.'" When quoting Depp's declaration from the tape, Bredehoft deepened her voice in an apparent attempt to mimic the actor.

EW has reached out to Bredehoft for comment on the moment.

The seemingly impromptu imitation earned a chuckle from Depp, but the line of questioning also created a dramatic opening for the defense on redirect. Answering that she did recall Monday's testimony about eye contact, Heard offered her own explanation for Depp's apparent inability to meet her gaze: "Because he's guilty."

Growing emotional on the stand, Heard added, "He knows he's lying. Otherwise, why can't he look at me? I survived. I survived that man, and I'm here, and I'm able to look at him."
