Shane MacGowan’s wife, Victoria Mary Clarke, well and truly put Johnny Depp on the spot with a surprising anecdote during her eulogy to her late husband.
The Pogues star’s funeral was held in Ireland today following his death from pneumonia at the age of 65.
Hundreds of mourners lined the streets to pay their respects, with Hollywood actor Depp, 60, being one of several A-listers in attendance.
Depp, who attended MacGowan’s wedding in 2018, read out a prayer during the service.
Delivering her eulogy, Clarke referenced the time MacGowan urged Depp to ‘forgive’ his ex-wife Amber Heard amid their extremely high-profile libel court case.
‘I hope you don’t mind me saying this, Johnny,’ she began with a smile.

‘When Johnny had a court case involving his ex-wife Amber, Shane had a long conversation with you, didn’t he? And urged you to forgive Amber.
‘Yeah, he just thought it was the best thing to do because he believed genuinely in forgiveness.’
Speaking directly to the actor, she asked: ‘I’m sure you have by now, haven’t you?’
‘Of course you have, of course you have,’ she said, with the camera on Clarke the whole time as the service was live-streamed.
