Three years since he last appeared in a film. An important period when we talk about Johnny Depp and his rich filmography, which has accustomed us to finding him in dark rooms almost every year. However, the last three years have mostly been synonymous with trouble with the law. Indeed, the ex-companion of Vanessa Paradis was sued by his ex-companion Amber Heard, after a complaint filed for domestic violence in 2018.
A long legal battle that ultimately proved no one right… or almost. Indeed, one and the other were condemned but Amber Heard had to pay damages and interests more important than the actor of 59 years. A decision that almost made Johnny Depp look like the victim for some. In addition to the court decision which did not satisfy everyone, this trial was also an opportunity to discover some dark sides of the actor.

The bad side of Johnny Depp?
Between his paranoia and his violence, the world also learned that he suffered from oniomania. A disorder that “pushes” you to spend your money convulsively. With all these elements, Johnny Depp is no longer as unanimous as before and some fear that his arrival at the Cannes Film Festival poses a problem. Augustin Trapenard did not fail to mention the controversy during his interview with Maïwenn.
This Monday, May 15, for Rawthe journalist first launched: “Johnny Depp at the opening of the Cannes festival, is that going to cause a scandal?”. “No, I don’t think so, I don’t hope in any case”retorted the 47-year-old director. “For extra-cinematic reasons for him, for what he represents, for what he is”then specifies Augustin Trapenard before Maïwenn confides: “It would bother me if you refer to the radical feminist movement, it would bother me if they wanted to ruin the evening”.
Johnny Depp booed at the Cannes Film Festival, Maïwenn would live it very badly
Indeed, the ex-companion of Luc Besson made a point of recalling that “Jeanne du Barry” is a “film directed by a woman, about a woman, not just any woman, Jeanne du Barry, who was ultramodern because she said and she did things that were current so… yeah that would hurt me a lot”. Only a few hours left to wait until Tuesday May 16, the opening day of the 76th Cannes Film Festival, and find out if Johnny Depp will be welcomed as a hero, or booed.
