  Johnny Depp's past text messages were presented as evidence in court on Thursday amid the actor's ongoing defamation suit against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor testified about using recreational drugs with WandaVision actor Paul Bettany and musician Marilyn Manson.

Heard's attorney Ben Rottenborn showed the court text exchanges between Bettany and Depp including one in which the two actors once joked about killing Heard.

Texts from June 2013 showed Depp and Bettany joking about how to kill Heard, with Depp writing: "Let's burn Amber!!!"

Paul wrote back: "I'm not sure we should burn Amber. She is delightful company and pleasing on the eye. We could of course do the English course of action and perform a drowning test. Thoughts? You have a swimming pool."

Depp replied: "Let's drown her before we burn her!!! I will f*** her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she is dead."

Then Bettany replied: "My thoughts entirely! Lets be CERTAIN before we pronounce her a witch."

In many text messages read out, Depp called Heard explicit names like "ugly c***," "worthless hooker" and "filthy whore."

"When I write something, when I write a text, especially if I'm in a particularly impassioned place it's a canvas, it's a painting," he said in court, having previously said that he has a dark sense of humor.

Fans have been divided in their reactions to the texts on Twitter.

"paul bettany is not getting dragged enough for those texts," reads one tweet.
