After years of legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp made a triumphant comeback at the Cannes Film Festival. Despite a tumultuous past, Depp received a seven-minute standing ovation for his role in “Jeanne Du Bary.” However, fans couldn’t ignore his visibly deteriorated teeth.

The actor’s return to prominence follows a high-profile defamation trial where Heard accused him of abuse, a case that ended in Depp’s favor. His Cannes appearance marked his first public outing since the trial concluded, drawing both praise and criticism.

Depp’s portrayal of King Louis XV in “Jeanne Du Bary” earned accolades, signaling a resurgence in his career. Despite backlash from Heard’s supporters, festival director Thierry Fremaux defended Depp’s invitation, citing artistic freedom.

In an interview, Depp urged people not to judge him solely on his legal battles, emphasizing the complexity of his journey. Despite the scrutiny, his Cannes appearance symbolized a fresh start, with fans rallying behind him as he engaged with supporters, marking a hopeful turn in his career.
