Invited by C à vous in Cannes this Wednesday, May 17, Maïwenn responded to the controversies concerning the presence of Johnny Depp in her film and her attack on Edwy Plenel.
This Wednesday, May 17, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine received in It’s up to you actress and director Maïwenn Le Besco, whose film Jeanne du Barry was presented at the opening of Cannes Film Festival 2023. The host of France 5 took advantage of the presence of the director to question her regarding the presence of Johnny Depp in her film.
Remember that the presence on the Croisette of the actor, accused of violence by his former companion Amber Heard, is controversial. A collective of actresses and actors, including Julie Gayet and Laure Calamy, notably signed a platform to denounce a “complacency” of the 7th art vis-à-vis sexual aggressors. “Do these questions seem legitimate to you?“, asked Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine. “When I approached Johnny, it was before his trials. I love the actor. When there were the trials, I did not see myself taking away the role because there were these trials. If my answer doesn’t please, so be it. At least I’m inhabited by the films I write. I wore this film for 17 years, I love the actor, I’m not intimate with him. We never dined together one-on-one. We don’t talk regarding the too intimate subjects of his life and that’s it…“, retorted the actress of 47 years.
Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine then addressed the second sensitive subject. On February 22, the director attacked the journalist and founder of Mediapart Edwy Plenel in a restaurant in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. “You admitted having assaulted the journalist. (…) He said he was stunned, he was hoping for an apology from you (…) You still do not want to explain this gesture?”, the host asked her guest. “I want to talk regarding Jeanne du Barry“, replied Maïwenn. In the process, Babeth relaunched: “And you regret this gesture?. “Have you asked him if he regrets it? Ask him”, she replied dryly. And the director concludes: “No, I prefer not to talk regarding it. I do not regret“.
