At the 76th Cannes International Film Festival, Johnny Depp officially returned with his new work "Countess Dubarry". In the face of questions from reporters at the press conference, Depp responded domineeringly: I don't feel boycotted by Hollywood because I don't care about Hollywood.
On Wednesday (local time), Depp attended the press conference of "The Countess of Dubarry". He was more than 40 minutes late due to traffic jams, so the event was 27 minutes later than scheduled.
Asked if he still felt boycotted by Hollywood, Depp replied: "I don't feel that way, it's a weird joke." But when you're asked to quit the movie you're shooting and the reason is just a vague rumor, there's a joke. ”
Depp added: "I don't feel like I'm being boycotted by Hollywood right now because I don't care about Hollywood and I don't have much demand for Hollywood. It's a strange and fun time where everyone wants to be themselves but can't. Because they have to follow the rules and follow the crowd. If you want to live that kind of life, I'll be on the opposite side of you. ”
Previously, the legal dispute between Depp and his ex-wife Amber attracted public attention, but he appeared to disagree with what was reported in the media. Depp said: "Most of you have been following my news for the past five or six years. But most of what you see is magical, like fantasy horror novels. ”
Depp appeared at Cannes with his new performance and was described by many as a "comeback", but he did not think so. Depp said: "I've been thinking about the word 'comeback,' but in reality I've always been there and haven't gone anywhere. “
When asked what he thought of the controversy surrounding his appearance at Cannes, especially those who didn't want him to appear on the red carpet, Depp quipped: "What if one day they don't want to see me in McDonald's again?" I was eating a Big Mac burger when suddenly 39 people came looking at me. Who would I miss them? What do you want to do? ”
Previously, Depp withdrew from the sequel to "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" due to a legal dispute between Depp and Amber, and his reputation and career were greatly affected, but last year Depp finally won the defamation case and his career is gradually returning.
