CANNES : Johnny Depp seemed back in full celebrity mode on Tuesday, signing autographs and taking pictures with fans before the premiere of the Cannes Film Festival's opening film"Jeanne du Barry," which marks the actor's first major role since his high-profile defamation trial.
The festival delivered on its glamorous reputation with a parade of stars including Mads Mikkelsen, a blue-haired Helen Mirren and Uma Thurman making their way across the red carpet. French cinema icon Catherine Deneuve, 79, who graces this year's festival poster, was also invited on stage to speak to guests.
The French-language film, which does not yet have a release date for North America, marks the start of a comeback for the"Pirates of the Caribbean" actor, who has made few film or TV appearances since his trial concluded in June 2022.
