Johnny Depp was seen getting visibly emotional as his new film Jeanne du Barry received a seven-minute standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday (16 May).
The French-language film directed by Maïwenn was controversially chosen to open the festival this year. “Johnny Depp tears up as #Cannes2023 showers him with a seven-minute standing ovation at the premiere of ‘Jeanne du Barry,” Ramin Setoodeh, Co-Editor-in-Chief of Variety, tweeted from the French Riviera event alongside a video.
In the clip, Depp, 59, holds his hands to his face before hugging the director. Cannes director Thierry Fremaux has received backlash for the decision to open the festival with Depp’s movie due to the allegations made against him by his ex-wife Amber Heard in their highly publicised defamation trial last year.
