It may have been a box office flop, but 2011 film The Rum Diary did succeed in bringing Johnny Depp and his wife Amber Heard together.
However the actor, 52, has revealed that it wasn't until after work on the movie had been completed that he realised he had fallen for the 29-year-old.
'She was in my head, so I tracked her down,' Johnny said on stage on Thursday at the 31st annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival, according to People.

Amber Heard stole the show when she arrived at the Art Elysium Gala on Saturday evening. The star looked jaw droppingly beautiful in a red satin dress from Vivienne Westwood's Red Label.
The draped material is a signature detail of the brand and it was no surprise the designer had dressed several women for the evening when she alongside Andreas Kronthaler were this year's visionary and creative forces behind the event.
Amber's dress may have matched the red carpet, but she certainly stood out a mile in the full-length number. The piece is now no longer available sadly, but if you click right you'll find currently available pieces from the Red Label to browse.

He added: 'We tracked each other down. Actually, incidentally, it was amazing.'
Johnny then joked: 'It was at the first day of press on The Rum Diary. Then we married that very day!'
In actual fact, the couple married in February 2015 at their home in Los Angeles, and celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary a day before Johnny's appearance at the film festival.
Following the private nuptials, the two stars then threw a wedding weekend celebration on a remote island in the Bahamas, where they exchanged vows for a second time.

Johnny and Amber began dating in 2012, after his split from long-term partner Vanessa Paradis in June of that year.

Meanwhile Amber had broken up with her girlfriend Tasya van Ree in 2011 after three years of dating.

'I have to thank my wife Amber for putting up with me, for living with all these characters, which can't be easy. It's hard for me - it's got to be hard for her,' he quipped.
Johnny supported Amber at the Los Angeles premiere of her movie The Danish Girl in November, and told E! News at the time: 'We connect on a lot of levels.
'But the first thing that really got me was she's an aficionado of the blues. I would play a song, some old obscure blues song, and she knew what it was.
'She's very, very literate. She's a voracious reader as I have been, so we connected on that as well and she's kind of brilliant and beautiful. I'm a lucky man.'
