Her appearance on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival on May 16 stirred passions … in every sense of the word. His fans were delighted to find him at the top of the rankings thanks to his role in Jeanne du Barry Maiwenn, with over 650,000 viewers – and his detractors still shocked by the verdict of the defamation trial against Amber Heard, Johnny Depp has offered himself an incredible comeback.
Thursday night, hours before, Hollywood Vampires fans wished him a 60th birthday when he returned to the stage after recovering from a nasty injury…
After embarking on a major European tour, the rocker actor will perform at Hellfest in Clisson on June 15 and at Zenith in Paris on June 25 before heading to the United States in the summer. If he is sure to be happy to find his American public, it is on this side of the Atlantic that the rest of his career will likely end.
First on a personal level. When Johnny Depp is not staying at his Vars property, such as during his visit to Cannes, he spends most of his free time in the United Kingdom. More precisely, in the county of Somerset, where he owns a luxurious residence of the 19th century, located on a plot of 45 hectares.
As for the professional side, it is in Europe that we continue to trust him. Dior has signed a $20 million contract to remain the face of Sauvage perfume. But shooting next fall modi, his second place as a director, 26 years after the failure Brave. Is there a presentation in Cannes in 2024? We are still a long way from that…
As we saw last month on the Croisette, the image of Johnny Depp remains “blurred” among some of the public. From Crybaby TO Edward Scissorhands Passing dead man AND sleepy hollow, his great roles in the past have made him one of the most respected actors of a generation. But the way the defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard unfolded still causes some anxiety and even anger.
Return of Jack Sparrow? Disney doubts…
Last February, a documentary by Cécile Delarue aired on France 5 really showed how Amber Heard was humiliated by “raids” of misogynistic internet users determined to discredit public opinion. Did they influence the jury’s verdict? Were they fed, far or near, by her ex-husband’s teams? To say that doubts remain is an understatement.
In Hollywood, at least, they are in no hurry to get involved with Johnny Depp, despite the hundreds of millions of dollars that his films have brought. Last March, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said he “would love” to bring back interpreter Jack Sparrow in a new opus of the saga. Pirates of the Caribbean.
We never said no to him for 35 years.
We never said no to him for 35 years.
Producer quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.
On the side of Disney, which fired the franchise star after Amber Heard’s allegations of domestic violence, we’re more careful. “At this stage there were no commitments“, stated a few days ago Sean Bailey, president of Disney Studios Motion Picture Production in The newspaper “New York Times.
To understand the reluctance of major studios to do this, you need to re-read the poll published in the fall Hollywood Reporter. “We never said no to him for 35 years.“, – sums up the producer.This is a common thing in this business. But I haven’t seen this yet..”

Between all sorts of frills, chronic film delays, and an incredible lifestyle that pushes his agents to demand ever more monstrous fees, Johnny Depp may belong to a bygone era of Hollywood, in a time when much sleeker young stars are at the top of the bill. .
This may be known to the main stakeholder when we reread his statements at the press conference. Jeanne du Barry. “Do I feel boycotted now?he answered a question about it.No, absolutely not. I don’t feel like Hollywood is boycotting me because I don’t think about it.“The last word?
