Johnny Depp, the renowned actor known for his role in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and more, has opened up about his challenges during his defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. The six-week case was a televised courtroom circus that included screaming fans and therapy alpacas. Still, the Alice in Wonderland star emerged victorious, winning all three of his defamation claims and was awarded over $10 million in damages.
Meanwhile, Heard won one of her three countersuit claims and received $2 million. After a three-year hiatus, Depp is starring in his first lead role and recently shared his thoughts on fans labeling this as his "comeback" era. While attending this year's Cannes Film Festival to promote his latest film, Jeanne du Barry, the 60-year-old sat down for an interview with Hollywood Authentic, which was later shared on Instagram.
Reflecting on his return to Cannes for this year's screenings and events, he described the moment as beautiful and initially exposed. He also questioned the notion that the historical drama is being hailed as his "comeback" film, saying:Johnny Depp was asked if he experienced any satisfaction returning to Cannes, with his first film to be released after his contentious defamation trial with his ex. With a smile, he acknowledged there was.
The actor admitted:Despite facing challenging times, the 21 Jump Street alum doesn't hold grudges or harbor bitterness. He emphasizes that he gained valuable insights from this difficult period, elaborating:Jeanne Du Barry made a grand entrance amid the Cannes Film Festival's opening night, captivating the audience, who gave it a thunderous seven-minute standing ovation. However, critics had a mixed response to Johnny Depp's film.
