Johnny Depp’s ‘Jeanne du Barry’ at Cannes Film Festival marked his first major on-screen role after Amber Heard trial
While thousands of fans has showed up from South of France with supportive signs and autograph requests. The Hollywood Reporter noted that one fan’s sign read “Viva Johnny” while others shouted his name on repeat as he signed autographs and took selfies.
However, not everyone was pleased to see Depp, 59, there. Many argued on social media that the actor’s presence at the festival sent the wrong message.
Meanwhile, Cannes Film Festival’s chief Thierry Fremaux addressed having Depp’s movie open the festival while speaking to reporters Monday.
“I don’t know about the image of Johnny Depp in the U.S. To tell you the truth, in my life, I only have one rule, it’s the freedom of thinking and the freedom of speech and acting within a legal framework,” said Fremaux.
“If Johnny Depp had been banned from acting in a film or the film was banned, we wouldn’t be here talking about it.”
