American superstar Johnny Depp appears to have regained fame as he was seen taking pictures with fans and leaving an autograph on them before the premiere of his movie “John de Paris” at the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, in his first major role since standing trial in a high-profile defamation case.
Fans of Johnny Depp in the French city on the Riviera held banners reading “Congratulations, Johnny” and “We’re sorry”.
The Cannes Festival did not break its promise as usual every year, and its opening witnessed the emergence of a large group of stars such as Mads Mikkelsen and John K. Riley and Helen Mirren, who dyed her hair blue.
And Depp plays in the movie “John de Barry”, which is directed by Maywen Le Bisco, known as Maywen, the role of the French King Louis XV, while she also plays the role of Du Barry, the concubine of the French king, who climbed the social ladder and became his favorite.
Critics highlighted the appeal of the film, which received funding from the Red Sea Film Festival Foundation in Saudi Arabia with a total budget of about $22.4 million, but said the film lacked rhythm.
The French-language film, which has yet to be released in North America, marks the beginning of a comeback for Pirates of the Caribbean star Depp, who has appeared in a handful of films and television since his trial ended in June 2022.
An American jury awarded Depp an almost complete victory in his defamation battle with his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, and awarded him more than $10 million in compensation.
