In May, Heard arrived in Australia with husband Johnny Depp who was filming the latest Pirates of the Caribbean sequel in Queensland.

Much was made of the fact the couple had brought their two dogs, Pistol and Boo, to Australia, without putting them through the country’s rigorous quarantine process.

The actor made a surprise appearance at Disney's D23 Expo, a fan convention, to accept the honor from Disney CEO Bob Iger on Friday.

Depp has starred in Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" series as Captain Jack Sparrow as well as their live-action "Alice in Wonderland" as the Mad Hatter.

The actor said that he doesn't like the words "fan" or "legend" but thanked the 7,500 audience members for giving him the "opportunity to do stupid stuff for a living."
