Famous Hollywood actor Johny Depp has been trying to clear his name since he was accused of violence against him by his ex-wife Amber Heard, from whom he broke up years ago. For this reason, he filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife and won the case after hearings that broke viewing records.
In this case, you may think that Depp has cleared his name, but it is not that easy. The famous actor, who has not been able to act in any movie since he was accused by his ex-wife, did act in a movie after this case, and even the movie he starred in, ‘Jeanne du Barry’, was the opening movie of the Cannes Film Festival this year, but the great reaction to Depp continues.
Thierry Fremaux, the long-time director of the Cannes Film Festival, responded to criticism about the opening film. Last week, it was announced that the opening of the 76th Cannes Film Festival would be held with the movie ‘Jeanne du Barry’, starring Johnny Depp and focusing on the life of Louis XV.
The film focuses on the story of Jeanne Vaubernier, the mistress of King Louis XV, who was also known as the king who was loved by the public during his lifetime. ‘I don’t believe it is a controversial move’
Speaking to Variety before the festival, which starts in May, Thierry Fremaux stated that he did not believe that opening with the film directed by Maïwenn le Besco was a controversial move: “I do not see Maïwenn’s film as a controversial choice at all, because if Johnny Depp had been banned from working, it would have been a controversial move. It would be different, but that is not the case. There’s only one thing we know, the justice system, and I think it won the case. Moreover, the movie is not about Johnny Depp anyway.”
