Dr. Louise Mahler, a body language specialist, weighs in as she continues to observe Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s trial. She noted that the Hollywood actors are both playing roles – they’re simply acting them in different ways.
She explained that they’re both performers, and Johnny Depp has chosen a more straightforward role. So his performance is basically steady and gradual. And he can do it week after week after week.
Whereas Amber’s emotional act is more difficult to maintain. Who knows if she’s simply tired, bored, or whatever, but it’s not coming across properly.
Observing the Magic Mike XXL star, Mahler noted the strain in her jaw, saying she gets that right from the start. It appears highly artificial when she attempts to recollect the emotional circumstances.
The specialist also stated that Heard’s hyperventilating isn’t genuine and appears to be a “planned approach.”
Mahler claimed that it comes more from the body. It’s attempting to elicit an emotional response. It’s the opposite way around. If it is a true feeling, you can practically see the trigger in your mind, and then the breath follows. Amber’s high breath is attempting to bring her to tears, but she fails miserably. Individuals who perform will start sobbing if they breathe too heavily since it puts strain on their throat.
When it came to the more obvious issues, such as Heard’s usage of tissues, Mahler was just as perplexed as most of us. She explained, typically, one would blow one’s nose since there’s wetness, but she puts the hankie up and breathes in. Some claim she is breathing in a chemical or something. Mahler is not sure, but that would be a pretty strange thing to do.

Furthermore, Mahler believes the mother-of-one’s monotone voice is unusual given the gravity of the situation, and when she does become upset, her tone “recovers too swiftly.” There are no genuine tears if things go out of hand. When there is sobbing, there are no genuine tears.
Nevertheless, Depp is not immune to putting on a show, as Mahler stated, he’s got his role down perfectly.
She stated his personality is ‘I can’t believe this is happening,’ which implies he’s used the method of shutting his eyes, breathing slowly, and speaking slowly while looking down. His speech contains gaps and says things slowly. He has a sense of disbelief, which leads to a sense of humour. He has maintained that act throughout, which lends credibility since consistency breeds credibility.”
The expert added that it’s one of the keys to developing trust. It sends subliminal cues to the listener, implying that this man is dependable. He regularly exhibits smooth conduct. It’s a solid performance. Is this a genuine performance? Nobody knows. But that’s exactly how their performances come through.
