During his appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, Johnny Depp claims he felt "exposed"

Johnny Depp reflected on his turbulent last few years in a newly-released video from Cannes Film Festival.

Depp’s film Jeanne du Barry directed by Maïwenn opened the May festival this year and was deemed by many to represent a Hollywood “comeback” following his bitter defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.

The French-language film about Louis XV’s last mistress marked the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s first lead role since winning the trial against Heard last year.

On Wednesday 14 June, photographer Greg Williams shared a video of Depp getting ready for Cannes on his Instagram account.

“Walking up the steps at the thing, I’ve done it a few times with different films over many years,” Depp, 60, said in the video of returning to Cannes. “It’s always kind of – it’s quite beautiful, when you’re at the receiving end, you just feel like, initially you feel fing exposed.”

Asked by Williams how it felt to be back at the festival promoting a movie, Depp replied that a friend had texted him saying that it was his “comeback film or something”.

“I mean, you call it whatever you want, you could make it whatever you want but comeback I mean, you have to go away to come back,” Depp said on his car journey to the film’s premiere. “I didn’t go nowhere. Maybe I was not thought of or looked at or allowed to be looked at...”

Asked if he felt any “satisfaction” towards his return to Cannes, Depp, smiling, admitted “This – you know, yes, there is...

“Because, you know, at the top of this horrible period, at the beginning of it it was… you know, again, it’s like kind of what I was saying before. People can hit the bottom many times,” he said.
