But in the current climate of more and more victims of abuse coming out against their famed and celebrated abusers, the appearance of Johnny Depp on the show caused significant distress to viewers who felt there were double standards at best, zero consequences at worst, for those accused of abuse.
In 2016, the actor's ex-wife, actress and model Amber Heard, was granted a restraining order against Depp, as court documents at the time revealed Heard's claim: "During the entirety of our relationship, Johnny has been verbally and physically abusive to me."
Depp denies the claims, but many found his appearance on the Graham Norton Show galling, especially as the host had called out Kevin Spacey in his intro. Many found the programme difficult to watch, or boycotted it altogether.
