Johnny Depp’s Comeback Movie Met With 7-Minute Standing Ovation
May 21, 2023
Johnny Depp’s comeback movie, Jeanne du Barry, receives a seven-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival. One of the most well-known and accomplished actors of his generation, Depp’s name has recently been mired in controversy due to a contentious legal battle with his ex-wife, fellow actor Amber Heard. In his first on-screen role since he won the highly-publicized defamation trial against Heard, Depp stars in the French-language period drama Jeanne du Barry, written and directed by Maïwenn.

Jeanne du Barry recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where the audience erupted in applause for Depp’s performance as King Louis XV. According to Variety, Depp held back tears as he received a seven-minute standing ovation after Jeanne du Barry’s premiere. The actor, who was surprised by the response, acknowledged the audience by waving from the balcony while Maïwenn broke down into tears and addressed the audience:
I want to share this moment with my lover, with my producer, with Le Pacte. It was a production that was difficult to finance … and I want to share this moment with all my team across the theater.
Is This The Start Of Johnny Depp’s Hollywood Comeback?
The ecstatic response to Depp’s latest performance is sure to create an expectation that this moment will spark the embattled actor’s Hollywood comeback. It’s important to note that Jeanne du Barry is a French film premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, which is held in France, so the film’s home-field advantage likely contributed to its warm reception. Depp is also a beloved figure within the country since he had a 14-year romantic relationship with the famous French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis. Upon his arrival at the festival, Depp was welcomed by thousands of supportive fans gathered outside.

Whether or not Depp’s reception at Cannes leads to a full-fledged Hollywood comeback remains to be seen. Despite winning the defamation trial against Heard, Depp remains an ostracized figure in Hollywood due to the abuse allegations that surfaced before and during the trial. Next up, Depp will reunite with Al Pacino as he directs a Modigliani biopic, and as he takes on more acting roles, it will become apparent whether the rapturous response to his performance in Jeanne du Barry at Cannes actually amounts to anything.
