Are audiences ready for the return of Johnny Depp? The controversial actor is playing his first lead role in three years in “Jeanne du Barry," which opened Cannes Film Festival Tuesday. The movie, which stars Depp as King Louis XV and French actress Maïwenn as the king's mistress, reportedly received a seven-minute standing ovation, and festival attendees are talking about the film's tense news conference Wednesday, to which Depp arrived late.
The star's comeback is taking place nearly a year after Depp's explosive defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard garnered widespread interest. After both Depp and Heard accused each other of physical and verbal abuse, a civil jury awarded $10 million in damages to Depp and $2 million to Heard − a win for Depp, and a partial win for Heard.

Who can blame him. I’ll bet they didn’t say “welcome back. We are sorry for what you went through”.
You go dude..😊 ❤love you for saying that. You don’t, because you are original. You are your own spirit. Bless you Johnny for being you.🙏🏻☝️❤✌️
It’s sad that Johnny doesn’t think or care about Hollywood because Hollywood certainly could use him back! People forget what an amazing talent he was because all he has really been doing for the past decade is Jack Sparrow.
I’m glad Johnny had the truth come out so he can live his normal life without hate being thrown at him
❤. Wise man. Shake the dust off your feet Johnny
Thanks…. Much love 💕💕💕
Don’t blame him. The studios and people in Hollywood that he made rich. Then pushed aside because of unfounded allegations. They are shameful!
Yes he’s too busy playing Rock n Roll!!!
He’s got plenty of money and he is rid of Amber. What else does he need?
My favorite movie of Johnny is “Joon”!❤
You’re correct, Johnny, You don’t need Hollywood! You have support and love from all of us❤❤❤❤
See? I always said he was one of us weirdos that doesn’t want to be a carbon copy of everyone else who is “perfect”
Is it just me, or does he look gorgeous in everything we see him in?
I still love you ❤❤
Some of y’all are over here “Yass’ing” people into cancellations but also saying “Go Johnny!”. Slithering type folks.
Johnny D. You take life’s big blows very well Makes me appreciate my lot. My life is sweeter than ever. Till the wheels fall off brother.
I don’t blame him one bit now he can live without pressure no pressure at all he can just be himself and do whatever he wants to
You tell them Johnny.
Johnny, if I had your money I would say goodbye to Hollywood and move to the mountains away from people. I would buy 100 acres, build a small cabin and a barn. Have a few cows, chickens, a couple pigs , 2 or 3 horses and 2 or 3 mules. Have a huge garden and live off the land, go hunting and fishing. Only spend what I need to, to live on. A simple life, no people, no worries.
Johnny Depp is a survivor and is an artists artist.
He has never been concerned with the nonsensical allegations thrown at him. He faces them if need be and moves on.
Thats wonderful live for yourself
