On May 2nd, the opening film of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival will finally be shown overseas Jeanne du Barry – The Lover movie, which was Johnny Depp’s big comeback after his lawsuit against Amber Heard. Maiwenn Le Besco, who now plays the main role and is also in the director’s chair, reported to The Independent that they had problems with the world-famous American actor during the filming process.
I’ll be honest. It was quite difficult to shoot with him. The whole crew was freaking out because he has a very different sense of humor and we never knew if he would be on set on time or if he would be well enough to deliver his lines. I mean, even if he was on set on time, the crew was still afraid of him.
– said Maiwenn, who together with Depp promoted the French work until its premiere in Cannes. Although there was no sign of this contradiction on the red carpet, the director has now said that they have not been in contact at all since working together.
“We haven’t had any contact since the shooting. Johnny is a great genius to me, but he lives in a completely different world. I am simply unable to communicate with him,” said the actress.
