Saudi man proposes to actress Amber Heard on Instagram

A man from Saudi Arabia has offered to marry actress Amber Heard after the defamation trial between her and her ex-husband Johnny Depp.

Depp took his ex-wife to court to sue her for US$50 million (NZ$77.9 million) after she claimed in a Washington Post article she was a survivor of domestic abuse.

The Saudi man proposed to Heard on the social media site Instagram, where he sent the actress a voice recording declaring his love for her.

The voice note was translated from Arabic into English and said: "Amber since all doors are closing on you, you have no one except me to take care of you."

"I've noticed that some people hate and bully you, therefore, I decided to marry you. May Allah bless us both. You are a blessing, but people don’t appreciate that. I am better than that old man."

The actress has not responded to the offer of marriage and has been inactive on social media since making a statement immediately after the defamation trial ended on June 2.
