Thierry Fremaux, head of the Cannes Film Festival, defended the inclusion of Johnny Depp’s comeback move in this year’s festival and rebuffed criticism from French actress Adèle Haenel.
Jeanne du Barry
in Cannes has drawn some criticism, but Fremaux brushed it aside, telling reporters, “I don’t know about the image of Johnny Depp in the U.S. To tell you the truth, in my life, I only have one rule, it’s the freedom of thinking, and the freedom of speech and acting within a legal framework.” Fremaux also insisted he was “the last person to be able to discuss” the trial, claiming, “If there’s one person in this world who didn’t find the least interest in this very publicized trial, it’s me. I don’t know what it’s about. I also care about Johnny Depp as an actor.”
He added: “If Johnny Depp had been banned from acting in a film, or the film was banned, we wouldn’t be here talking about it. So we saw Maïwenn’s film, and it could have been in competition. She would have been the eighth female director. This [controversy] came up once the film was announced at Cannes because everybody knew Johnny had made a film in France…I don’t know why she chose him, but it’s a question you should ask Maïwenn.
