Johnny Depp is not holding back. When questioned at length by the media for the first time since his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard concluded last year, Depp was quick to answer if he had felt boycotted by the industry that made him a star. "Did I feel boycotted by Hollywood?

Well, you’d have to not have a pulse to feel at that point like this was all just a weird joke," he said during a press conference at Cannes Film Festival to promote his upcoming film "Jeanne du Barry," per The Hollywood Reporter. "Of course, when you’re asked to resign from a film you’re doing because of something that’s merely a bunch of vowels and consonants floating in the air… Do I feel boycotted now?

No, not at all. But I don’t feel boycotted because I don’t think about Hollywood. I don’t feel much further need for Hollywood — I don’t know about you." On the first full day of press in Cannes, Depp was noticeably absent from his cast and crew behind the podium, ready to field questions about the production.The moderator revealed Depp would be making an appearance, although he would be late.

About 45 minutes into the conversation, Depp walked into the room and was met with applause.The previous night, Depp had received a 7-minute standing ovation for his performance in the upcoming Maïwenn film.
