The Cannes Film Festival chief defended Johnny Depp’s upcoming appearance<\/a> as the actor’s latest film “Jeanne du Barry” has been included in the opening night.<\/p>\n

The inclusion of his film with Maiwenn has been largely criticized following Depp’s six-week trial involving his ex-wife Amber Heard. Depp accused Heard<\/a> of defaming him in the 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she referred to herself as a domestic abuse survivor.<\/p>\n

The film festival chief, Thierry Fremaux, emphasized freedom of speech when defending Depp’s inclusion in the festival. The actor is starring as Louis XV in “Jeanne du Barry,” which will follow the life of Jeanne B\u00e9cu, the French king’s last official mistress.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know about the image of Johnny Depp in the U.S. To tell you the truth, in my life, I only have one rule, it\u2019s the freedom of thinking, and the freedom of speech and acting within a legal framework,” Fremaux told journalists during a press conference ahead of opening night, according to Variety.<\/p>\n

“If Johnny Depp had been banned from acting in a film, or the film was banned we wouldn\u2019t be here talking about it. So we saw Maiwenn\u2019s film and it could have been in competition. She would have been the eighth female director,” Fremaux continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This [controversy] came up once the film was announced at Cannes because everybody knew Johnny had made a film in France. He is extraordinary in the film in a role which is difficult. I don\u2019t know why she chose him but it\u2019s a question you should ask Maiwenn.”<\/p>\n

“As for the rest, I\u2019m the last person to be able to discuss all this. If there\u2019s one person in this world who didn\u2019t find the least interest in this very publicized trial, it\u2019s me. I don\u2019t know what it\u2019s about. I also care about Johnny Depp as an actor.”<\/p>\n

It has been almost a year since Heard lost the defamation case<\/u><\/a>. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor claimed the Washington Post op-ed affected his career.<\/p>\n

Heard counter sued, claiming<\/u><\/a> Depp’s lawyer had defamed her with statements made to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

After a six-week televised trial, the jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Despite the major loss, the jury did find one statement made by Depp’s lawyer was defamatory of Heard and awarded the actress $2 million.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Heard has two projects currently in post-production; “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” and “In the Fire.” However, she is not filming anything new, according to IMDB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
