Johnny Depp’s movie receives a 7-minute standing ovation at Cannes
After his movie received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, Johnny Depp broke down in tears.
A seven-minute standing ovation for Depp's movie "Jeanne du Barry," in which he portrays the former King of France Louis XV, can be seen in a Variety video posted to social media.
After a defamation trial with his ex-wife Amber Heard last summer, it was the actor's first cinematic production. In their cases against one another, a jury determined that they were both responsible for defamation, but Depp was given a much larger sum of damages.
Depp discussed "abstract whispers" and claimed
that "the majority of what you have been reading the last four or five
years about me and my life is fantastically, horrifically written
fiction" at the press conference for the movie in Cannes. "The focus should simply be on the fact that it's a
miracle to get a film made that you care about in the first place," he
remarked. "Right there, you win." Depp added, according to Variety, "I don't feel
boycotted by Hollywood because I don't think about Hollywood."
