Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald
Johnny Depp is no stranger to controversy. When the actor was set to play Gellert Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Depp was also being accused of physical abuse by his then-wife, Amber Heard, who had filed for divorce. People were appalled that Warner Bros. and director David Yates still agreed to work with him. Even J.K. Rowling came forward to say she was “genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movie.” Meanwhile, Daniel Radcliffe found it hypocritical that Harry Potter actor Jamie Waylett was removed from the series for being charged with possession of marijuana when Depp was facing much more serious accusations.
