Lily-Rose Depp is one proud daughter!
Et’s Rachel Smith spoke to Lily-Rose virtually from the Cannes Film Festival in the South of France Tuesday, where she said she couldn’t be happier for her father, Johnny Depp, following the seven-minute standing ovation he received after the premiere of his new biographical drama, Jeanne du Barry.
The film marked the opening of the 76th annual event, and the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s first leading role since his highly publicized defamation trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.
The French-language film sees Johnny as King Louis Xv. Set in the 18th century, Jeanne du Barry tells the story of Jeanne Bécu (Maïwenn), the daughter of an impoverished seamstress who rose through the Court of Louis Xv and became his last official mistress.
“I’m super happy for him. I’m super excited,” Lily-Rose gushed. “And it’s so awesome that...

The 2023 Cannes Film Festival just saw the return of Johnny Depp onto the international stage with the premiere of the French language film "Jeanne du Barry" directed by Maïwenn. After dismissing the idea of casting a French actor in the role, Maïwenn turned to Depp to play King Louis Xv in a biopic that focuses on the life of the King of France from September 1715 to his eventual death in 1774. Maïwenn stars alongside Depp as the titular Madame du Barry, a socialite that becomes the favorite concubine of the King in his later years.

Jury president Ruben Östlund struck a defiant note of optimism on the opening day of the 76th Cannes film festival, positioning the event as a stronghold of community in an increasingly atomised world. Cinema, he said, was more relevant and valuable than ever. The challenge is to connect it with a younger, post-pandemic audience that prefers to gorge its entertainment online.
“If you look at today’s world, you see that cinema is unique for the simple reason that it offers a room where we can all watch films together,” he said. “All the other content, we’re accessing it on our devices, in our little bubbles, consuming culture like zombies and not reflecting what we’re looking at.
