L'Oréal Paris has announced Amber Heard as its new global spokesperson. The actress says she is committed to making her voice 'heard.'

Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou, global president, L'Oréal Paris, says, "One of a new generation of actresses rewriting the script when it comes to having a voice in the world, the energy Amber Heard brings to her philanthropy, to her advocacy and to her performances make her a powerful ambassador for L'Oréal Paris as we take 'Because I'm Worth It' beauty into 2018." 

Heard says, "I have always loved the fun of beauty and the power of transformation. To become a spokesperson for this dynamic, world-loved beauty brand that's been telling women we're worth it since before I was born, and to join the L'Oréal Paris family of changemakers is such an honor. I feel like these women – my fellow ambassadors – represent a voice, a power, a movement, an opinion."

Heard is 32 years old, and from Texas. She will soon share the screen with Elisabeth Moss in Her Smell, and then she will be seen in the romantic thriller, Run Away With Me.

Making Sure Her Voice is 'Heard'

Heard says, "Over the years I've always thought to not just be an actor, but to use my voice as a platform for good to make the world a slightly, slightly better place and empower women the best that I can." She often campaigns for equality in Hollywood, calling for female characters and stories to be written and made by women and has philanthropic commitments at home and abroad. She is also an outspoken advocate for women's, children's and LGBTQ rights.

As a believer in the healing power of art, Heard is a member of The Art of Elysium, an organization empowering artists and needy communities to thrive through art.

Heard recently returned from a humanitarian trip to Jordan to visit Syrian refugees with the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) – an organization doing lifesaving work. In 2018, on the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Amber will be joining forces with the UN Human Rights Office.
