Johnny Depp Gets Emotional As His Film Receives Standing Ovation At Cannes

Cannes 2023 opened with the premiere of Johnny Depp's film Jeanne du Barry, directed by Maiwenn, in which the actor plays French King Louis XV. It is being touted as Mr Depp's 'comeback' film after last year's high-profile defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard. According to Variety, the actor, who hasn't been seen in public much after his victory in the trial, received an enthusiastic seven-minute standing ovation on Tuesday night after the film's careening. Several clips showing Mr Depp getting emotional have gone viral on social media.
