The announcement of his word was a shock for everyone… On March 31, Maïwenn’s companion, Jean-Yves Le Fur, died at just 59 years old. as a result of pancreatic cancer. An unspeakable ordeal while the director and actress
continues the promotion of her film Jeanne du Barry, released in France in spring 2023 but which remains to be presented to the rest of the world. A feature film which describes the love at first sight between a girl from the people and King Louis XV in the years preceding the French Revolution. So, this Monday, April 15,
the director of Polisse appeared on the London red carpet to present his film to the British. A first public appearance for the 48-year-old young woman since the tragedy.
Luckily, the mother of Shanna and Diego was able to count on the support of Johnny Depp
whose appearances have been rare since his trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard for “domestic violence“. Dressed in a suit, a gray coat and round glasses screwed on his nose, the 60-year-old actor opted for a particularly chic look, showing himself to be very complicit with Maïwenn. Facing the crowd, the interpreter from “Pirates of the Caribbean” said these few words: “I would like to thank Maïwenn for helping me up the steps, she will probably help me down in a moment” he joked.

Any tensions between the two actors?
This complicit appearance of the two actors sweeps away the rumors of tensions which had circulated between them during filming: “Johnny is a star, a king… and an American! They told me that, to warn him that we were waiting for him to shoot a scene, I couldn’t go and knock on his dressing room door. But one day, I did it anyway. And there, he made me understand that I had committed a unacceptable intrusion” Maïwenn told the magazine Premiere in April 2023. Back on the scene, it remains to be seen what reception the Americans will give to the film and to Johnny Depp. Jeanne du Barry will be broadcast on screens across the Atlantic on May 2.
