After the trial with Johnny Depp, Amber Heard practically disappeared from the map. She stopped appearing so much in public, kept a lower profile, and distanced herself quite a bit from all the noise that surrounded her during that time.
Now she has appeared in headlines again, but for something very different: her new life in Spain. According to reports, she settled in Madrid with her daughter and is reportedly using another name in her day-to-day life: Martha Jane Cannary.
The change is not random. That is the real name of Calamity Jane, a historical figure from the Old West. Still, more than a symbolic reference, everything points to something much simpler: being able to move around more peacefully and without drawing so much attention.
Those who have seen her there say she leads a fairly normal routine. Walks, everyday life, things far away from Hollywood and the constant exposure she had before. A major change, considering everything she has lived through in recent years.
And of course, after that level of exposure, it doesn’t sound so strange. Changing countries, keeping a lower profile, and using another name seems more like a way to start over than anything else.
