Johnny Depp’s once white-hot career has flamed out in the wake of his many scandals, but the controversial actor has every reason to expect a movie star welcome when he hits Cannes on Tuesday…
.” The costume drama is Depp’s first leading role in three years, a period of time in which the star has mostly made headlines for his ongoing legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard .
And Cannes isn’t alone. The Deauville American Film Festival honored him with a career achievement award in 2019. The prize was given by Catherine Deneuve, who described him as a “fascinating chameleon” in her speech. A year later, Depp was back at Deauville where he was greeted like a rock star by hundreds of fans, and presented “City of Lies” directed by Brad Furman.
Eric Marti, head of Comscore France, says French audiences have always had a soft spot for Depp. That is firstly because he’s considered half-French, having lived in the country for many years with Vanessa Paradis, a famous French actor and singer with whom he had two kids, including Lily-Rose Depp. He also starred opposite Charlotte Gainsbourg for a brief but cult scene in 2004’s “Ils se marierent et eurent beaucoup d’enfants.
The movie is budgeted in the $22 million range, a whopping price by French standards.
