"And you know what? I needed the work," The actor said.
The VMAs were his first major public event appearance after his controversial defamation case against his ex-wife, Amber Heard ended.
After a months-long trial, the seven-member jury at Fairfax court sided with Johnny in the $50 million defamation case and agreed that Amber and her Washington Post op-ed had slandered not only Depp's image but also his career.
