The French director and actress Maïwenn (46, “My one, my everything”) and the production company Why Not Productions published the photo on Wednesday. It shows Depp with a fur hat and white curly wig, powdered face, eyes covered with a black bandage.
Filming on the historical drama began in France at the end of July. In early June, Depp won a broad victory in a US defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard. The jury awarded the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star high damages. For the first time in three years, Depp is back in front of the film camera. The drama revolves around the king’s relationship with his last mistress, Jeanne Du Barry (Maïwenn), who came from a poor background.
Career temporarily collapsed
Johnny Depp’s career collapsed at times due to the headline-grabbing court battle with his ex-wife, who accused him of violence. So he was replaced in 2020 in “Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets” by the Dane Mads Mikkelsen. Shortly before, Depp had lost a lawsuit against the British tabloid “Sun”. Depp had sued over an article alleging he physically abused Heard.
On July 1, 2023, Depp will be a guest with the Hollywood Vampires at the OÖN concert summer on Clam.
