The Cannes Film Festival opened on Tuesday evening with the premiere of »Jeanne du Barry«. After the screening, there was frenetic applause in the cinema for director Maïwenn and leading actor Depp.
In the historical drama, Depp plays a leading role as King Louis XV in the late 1760s and early 1770s. In Great Britain, Johnny Depp may be called a "wife beater" according to a court order, while in the USA, the trial between him and ex-wife Amber Heard ended with compensation payments for both sides.
