Johnny Depp’s return to Hollywood has officially begun in a huge way.
A year ago, Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard dominated the news. But he is now on top of the world after promoting his new feature at the Cannes Film Festival.
He couldn’t keep the joy from his face as he walked down the red carpet for the first time since winning his lawsuit against his former partner.
Individuals were yelling his name when he arrived at the event, and one lady was reportedly in tears as she sought to attract his attention.
Wait till you witness the response inside the Palais if you thought that was nice.
As Johnny and Jeanne Du Barry’s director, Mawenn, stepped in, the audience erupted into a ‘rapturous’ standing ovation.
According to several accounts This round of ovations lasted seven minutes, and Depp was observed fighting back tears.
Mawenn was likewise overcome with emotion when she addressed the audience.

She said that she wants to share this moment with her lover, her producer, and Le Pacte. It was a difficult production to finance, and she wants to share this moment with her entire theater team.
However, Depp’s presence at the Cannes Film Festival has generated controversy.
The negative reaction was so strong that festival director Thierry Fremaux felt obligated to comment before the festival’s opening night.
He remarked that he was not sure about Johnny Depp’s image in the United States. To tell the truth, he only has one rule in his life: freedom of thought, speech, and action within a legal framework. If Johnny Depp had been barred from acting in a film, or the film itself had been barred, they wouldn’t be here discussing it.
He continued that this controversy arose once the film was announced at Cannes because everybody knew Johnny had made a film in France.
He is not sure why she chose him, but one should ask Maiwenn. As for the rest, he is the last person who can talk about it. If there’s one person in the world who didn’t care about this highly publicized trial, it’s him. He is not sure what it’s about. He also likes Johnny Depp as an actor.
It’s apparent that many people care about him and his comeback to the big screen now that his legal issues have been resolved.
