Johnny Depp & Amber Heard Deliver A Very Forced Dog-Smuggling Apology To Australia

In what looks like an incredibly forced 'hostage-style' video, Johnny Depp and wife Amber Heard have apologised for smuggling their dogs into Australia.

Australian Agricultural Minister Barnaby Joyce posted the video, which seems to be part of a deal that let the pair escape serious convictions.

Heard starts the video with 'Australia is a wonderful island with a treasure trove of unique plants, animals and people.' 

Depp then adds: 'It has to be protected'.  

Heard continues: 'Australia is free of many pests and diseases that are common place around the world. That is why Australia has to have such strong biosecurity laws.'

'And Australians are just as unique, both warm and direct,' Depp says. 'When you disrespect Australian law they will tell you firmly.'

Heard apologises - 'I am truly sorry Pistol and Boo were not declared,' she says. 'Protecting Australia is important'.

A somber/smouldering/fuming Depp adds: 'Declare everything when you enter Australia'. 

The clip was originally shown in court on the Gold Coast, before Heard, 29, was given a $1000 fine and a one-month 'good behaviour bond'. 

Heard, 29, who reached a deal with prosecutors, pleaded guilty to one count of falsifying border protection documents after they dropped two charges of illegal importation.
