Johnny Depp burst into tears over a 7-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival 05/17/2023, 07:55

The main actor in the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean” appeared at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. The actor skipped the event last year due to a legal dispute with ex-wife Amber Heard. Now Johnny presented to the public a film with his participation “Jeanne Dubary”.

The actor made a classic appearance at the event – a black men’s tuxedo, a white shirt and a neatly folded handkerchief on his chest. The discovery of Depp caused a stir.

The audience gave the idol a warm welcome, many shouting his name and holding placards in support of him. The actor gave fans a little time and headed to the red carpet, US Weekly reports.

Johnny received an equally warm welcome in the audience. After the screening of the film, the hall erupted with thunderous applause that lasted more than a minute. What is happening incredibly touched the father of the model Lily-Rose Depp. A video of the highlight has surfaced on the Internet. In his footage, Depp wipes away tears before hugging the film’s director.

“Johnny Depp cries as the 2023 Cannes Film Festival gives him a seven-minute standing ovation at the premiere of Jeanne Dubary,” Variety editor Ramin Setude wrote on social media.

The actor was at the center of a scandal due to his divorce from Amber Heard. Depp had to respond to allegations of domestic violence. In 2022, the actor sued for defamation and won. The actress was ordered to pay compensation in the amount of 15 million dollars (1.2 billion rubles), but as a result of negotiations, the former spouses reduced the amount to 1 million.

Legal problems negatively affected Johnny’s image. He lost his role in Fantastic Beasts. The character of Depp was embodied on the screen by the Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen. The artist and his wife Hanna Jacobson were also present at the opening of the festival. Mads and Johnny almost collided on the red carpet. Mikkelsen was paying attention to his wife and Depp was enjoying a triumphant return to Hollywood, according to the Daily Mail.
