"I've rarely seen such a gifted actor." But who is this French actor who caught Johnny Depp's eye? The American star is starring in Maïwenn's latest film, Jeanne du Barry, which opens the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday. During the shooting of this feature film, Johnny Depp rubbed shoulders with Pascal Greggory whom he has known "for thirty years and it was a pleasure to work with him again," he explains in an interview with the Journal du dimanche. He discovered Pierre Richard, "a legend". But above all, he was seduced by Benjamin Lavernhe.
The actor seen in Le Sens de la fête, a film by Nakache and Toledano for which he was nominated for the César for Most Promising Actor, Les Engagés or Le Discours, is "very collaborative, according to Johnny Depp, and we always exchanged ideas." The actor who plays Louis XV in Maïwenn's film concludes: "I would like to be able to work with him on all my future films!" This is called being knighted.
