Everything you need to know about Amber Heard, the actress who seems to be dating Elon Musk

Actress Amber Heard just revealed to the world that she’s dating Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, or at least that was the appearance from a photo of the two of them enjoying a meal together at a restaurant, with a lipstick stain planted on Musk’s cheek.

If Heard looks familiar, it’s because she has been around Hollywood for a while, and she got her start in TV and small roles in movies you’ve probably seen.

She gained a higher profile after she started dating and then married Johnny Depp, who left his longtime partner for her. Their marriage ended after divorce proceedings in 2016.

Heard is only 31, but she has had quite a career and continues to take on bigger roles. In 2017, she’ll appear as Mera, the queen of Atlantis, in “Justice League,” and she’ll probably have a more substantial role in 2018’s “Aquaman.” She’s also an advocate for women, especially those who are victims of domestic violence.

Heard was born in Austin, Texas, in 1986. When she was 17, she dropped out of high school and moved to LA to pursue an acting and modeling career.
