Los Angeles Oct 3 (IANS) Actor Johnny Depp who faced accusations of domestic violence against his former wife Amber Heard says he was never going to be Cinderella.

"It hurts " Depp said in an interview to a magazine.
"To harm someone you love? As a kind of bully? No it didn t it couldn t even sound like me. Initially I just kept my mouth shut you know? I knew it was going to stick on me and it would get weirder.
"I ain t going to get into a p***ing contest with someone about it... I never went out and spoke about the s***."
He described Hollywood as a "vile f***ing circus".
"I was never going to be Cinderella " he said.
"I know this and accept it. But it felt like within a very very short period of time that suddenly this version - for lack of a better word - of Cinderella had been immediately turned into the beast. He s Quasimodo.
"I could feel people look at me differently because of the accusations towards you. And then people start putting things in magazines: ‘He s insane. He needs to take a sanity test... You know ludicrous stuff.
"Ultimately the truth will come out in all of this and I will be standing on the right side of the roaring rapids."
