Thornton denies affair with Amber HeardLos Angeles, Aug 17 (AZINS) Actor Billy Bob Thornton has rejected claims that he had an affair with actor Johnny Depp's estranged wife Amber Heard.

The 61-year-old, who stars alongside Heard in new film “London Fields”, says allegations made by Depp are false, reports tmz.com.

Thornton says that he never socialised with “The Danish Girl” actress off set, apart from a cast dinner, and rarely spent time with the 30-year-old on set.

Their relationship was strictly professional, he said and added that he barely spoke to Depp either.

Thornton has also assured his sixth wife and Puppeteer Connie Angland, whom he married in 2014, that he has not been unfaithful.
