Amber Heard has been openly bi***ual for years **w, but many warned her about the negative effects "coming out" could have on her acting career. While speaking at The Eco**mist's Pride and Prejudice summit panel in NYC on Thursday, The Danish Girl actress revealed she "was never in." "I was in a relationship and I never hid it and then my career and my life started to change," she explained. When asked about her 2010 interview with Ellen DeGeneres in which she talked about her ***uality, she responded, "I just answered honestly. I could tell by the look on this person's face it was a big deal. My poor publicist. Then I realized the gravity of what I had done and why so many people - studio execs, agents, advisors - did **t want this Coming before my name. I Became Attached to a label. I've never seen myself defined by the person I'm with. I saw myself being in this unique position and having a unique responsibility. So, I bit the bullet."
Amber, who recently finalized her divorce from Johnny Depp, was also told that having the word "bi***ual" Attached to her name would damage her career. "As a leading lady, there's a certain amount of wish fulfillment. I was asked 'How is anyone going to invest in you romantically if they think you're unavailable?' I said, 'Watch me do it.'" She then ended her discussion by talking about how the world would be a lot different if every gay man in Hollywood came out publicly. "If every gay man that I k**w personally in Hollywood came out tomorrow, then this would be a **n-issue in a month." Despite the progress that's already been made, she said, "We have a long way to go."
