Johnny Depp: ‘I Don’t Feel Boycotted by Hollywood Because I Don’t Think About Hollywood’
variety.comJohnny Depp made a rare public appearance at the Cannes press conference for “Jeanne du Barry,” a costume drama that opened the 76th film festival.
The movie, in which he plays King Louis XV, marks the actor’s first leading role in three years, following his high-profile legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard.
