'I don't need Hollywood'

Johnny Depp has said that "the majority" of words written about him are "fantastically, horrifically written fiction" while speaking about being "boycotted" by Hollywood.

Depp has returned to the screen for Jeanne du Barry, a Frenchlanguage film that opened the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday night. The film received a seven-minute standing ovation, with Depp seen “in tears” in response.

The project, from French filmmaker Maiwenn, marks the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s first lead role since winning his highly publicised defamation trial against his former wife Amber Heard last year.

Depp sued Heard for defamation, claiming that she had falsely implied he was abusive towards her in a 2018 Washington Post opinion article.
