Appearing at the Cannes Film Festival the day after premiering his first film in three years, Johnny Depp said he has “no further need” for Hollywood. The French film “Jeanne du Barry' is Depp's first since his legal battle with his ex-wife, Amber Heard.

Part of Depp’s argument in that 2022 defamation trial was that he had lost work due to Heard’s allegations. Heard was ordered to pay Depp $10 million in damages, vindicating his allegations that Heard lied about Depp abusing her before and during their brief marriage. Heard was also awarded $2 million.

Depp called the majority of what’s been written about him in recent years “fantastically, horrifically written fiction.” Some have debated whether Cannes ought to have given Depp such a prominent platform. Asked how he would respond to such critics, Depp made a comparison that suggested few people feel that way.
