(CNN) — Johnny Depp cried this Tuesday following the warm reception who had the film in which he starred and which was shown at the Cannes Film Festival.
A video shared on social networks Per Variety shows a visibly emotional Depp during the seven-minute standing ovation for his film, “Jeanne du Barry,” in which he plays the former King of France Louis XV.
This is the actor’s first film project since the defamation trial once morest his ex-wife Amber Heard last summer. A jury found both men liable for defamation in their mutual lawsuits, but awarded Depp much more damages.
Speaking at the film’s press conference in Cannes, Depp spoke of “abstract whispers” and said that “most of what you’ve been reading for the last four or five years… regarding me and my life is fantasy fiction and horribly written.”
“You just have to focus on the fact that it’s a miracle to get a movie you care regarding in the first place,” said. “There you win.”
Variety reported that Depp also said, “I don’t feel boycotted by Hollywood because I don’t think regarding Hollywood.”
“Jeanne du Barry” tells the story of Jeanne Bécu, Countess of Barry, known as Madame du Barry, who was the mistress of King Louis XV.
In April, Cannes boss Thierry Frémaux spoke to Deadline regarding the decision to open the festival with Depp’s film, calling it a “beautiful film.”
“The opening film also has to be released simultaneously in French cinemas; we don’t put platform films in that time slot, because we want France to participate in the festival,” Frémaux said. “The film is a success, and Johnny Depp (as Louis XV) is magnificent in it.”
