A photo of Johnny Depp's bruised eye which Amber Heard was pointing at was used as evidence of Amber's domestic abuse in the defamation trial. While the photographer said that it was not him who had clicked the picture of the then celebrity couple, the original photographer who snapped the infamous picture of Johnny Depp's bruised eye has been found through social media.

The Singaporean photographer identified as Russel Wong, had posted a photo of the celebrity couple on his Instagram account. The photo was snapped during Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's troubled honeymoon trip to Singapore in 2015. The picture showed the onscreen Jack Sparrow with discolouration under his eyes as he posed for a snap with his ex-wife Amber Heard and three others onboard the Orient Express train (Bangkok to Singapore).

Photographer Russel Wong believed Johnny's claim of being abused by his then-wife Amber Heard. And after Amber's lawyers claimed that a different picture was photoshopped wherein Johnny Depp's face had bruises, the Singaporean photographer started looking for this picture which he had reportedly seen hanging at the Raffles Hotel where the former celebrity couple had stayed during their honeymoon.

Russel Wong took to his Instagram account to share the picture with a part of the caption that read, "I searched on the net that evening and found many blogs that featured it and noticed that same bruise on his face as the train shot.
