Boycotted, for a time, by the planet Hollywood, Johnny Depp is currently at the heart of several very lucrative projects. He renewed his contract with Dior, for the perfume Sauvage – for a few million dollars – and the actor, accused of domestic violence by his ex-wife Amber Heard, is back on film sets. The 59-year-old actor, who hasn’t been seen on the big screen since his role in the biopic Minamataby Andrew Levitas in 2020, is indeed giving voice, facing the camera, in France please!
He is one of the headliners of the next historic film by director Maïwenn Le Besco. A great regular at wigs of all kinds, the interpreter of Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands or Mad Hatter is now Louis XV, French sovereign who reigned for 59 years, in Jeanne du Barry. The feature film, scheduled for 2023, focuses on the life of the king’s mistress, played by Maïwenn herself. Filming would even have started in July 2022, which means that Johnny Depp is currently hiding between the walls of the Palace of Versailles.
