Case of mistaken identity
According to RadarOnline, the 28-year-old actor, who is on her way to making her career in Hollywood, is reportedly hurt by the constant comparisons to Johnny Depp’s former wife, who gained notoriety during her highly publicised defamation trial in 2022. Amber is 38 years old.
“Florence is having a bigger career than Amber ever had, but everyone knows Amber’s face because of the Johnny Depp trial,” said a source.
The source shared that being mistaken for Amber’s doppelganger has put Florence in a tricky position, “especially after she faced backlash for liking Depp’s Instagram post celebrating his victory in the court case against Amber”.
“Florence Is Team Johnny, which makes it more uncomfortable when she’s mistaken for Amber,” the source added.
Now, there are times fans ask Florence for an autograph, and some get annoyed when they find out that she hasn’t signed Amber’s name, sharing, “But even more, it hurts her pride – Amber is 10 years older than she is.”
