I just love that Johnny Depp got the role for this. Great actor!
I love French history, I love costume dramas and I'm a huge fan of Johnny Depp. I'm so excited for Jeanne Du Barry ❤
Can't deny Johnny is a very versatile actor. I hope he stays away from the toxic hypocrisy of Hollywood and stays in Europe where he's appreciated. He's welcome to NZ anytime.

Yesss! I read yesterday someone reporting all about his bad press from the libel trials. I don’t agree with that at ALL. So unlike the UK trial, where the judge’s son was on “The Sun”’s payroll, and AH was permitted to suck-on Candy- during her testimony, the Virginia trial was televised. There was just a little sniffing, but I came away liking Depp even more. I went out and bought my son Dior’s Savage cologne. I only wish I could have bought bottles for my SIL, husband, and other son. I do plan on it.

Most actors are walking characterological disorders. Pretty much anyone who has lived in the Los Angeles area can tell you that, although they'll likely call them personality disorders. That's why they lie as easily as they breathe. They're accustomed to lying and acting from early childhood onward, so to go from that to doing it professionally and getting paid handsomely for it comes naturally. Narcissists, histrionics, borderlines, sociopaths and psychopaths...that's the confluence of what makes up Hollywood right there. If you start dissecting their personal lives, you'll be disgusted if you have a conscience.

Um…it was a woman that ignored his personal problems and cast him…let alone an American…She deserves all the credit in the world
I love the way Maiwenn said Johnny wanted to hold on to his authority, but she wanted us to see his more romantic, taciturn, dark side. What a beautiful thing to see,to say. 4:00 And she rightly says his private life is his business, not ours, and we are not judges. I wish there were more people like her in the world. So glad he had gone from strength to strength since the horrendous years before.
He lost 1st trial and won 2nd but the 1st was not against AH but a newspaper. And the judge literally believed what amber would say even though they were lies, like the $7 mil donation she said she donated that was never donated. The judge wrote she was credible for donating the money. And it was all bs. It was the 2nd trial that showcased to the public all the evidence and the credibility (and lack thereof) of all the witnesses. So when she said we will never know. We saw the evidence so i wholeheartedly disagree. We know. Maybe she felt she needed to be neutral. But it was disappointing. I am so glad he starred in this. By them choosing Johnny their movie will be popular around the world. It was a smart move on their part i feel. And from the clips it looks like he did such an outstanding job. We support you Johnny!! He is a survivor!! And an inspiration to so many!!!
