A movie called Jeanne du Barry – The King’s Mistress tells the story of a scheming courtesan’s relationship Jeanne (Maiwenn) and King Louis XV, who causes a scandal at the royal court. The lead actress is also the director of the historical drama that helped Depp back to prominence.
Johnny Depp was moved to tears
When Depp went through the cast of the film, he thought there had been a mistake. “I thought it was a typo. When we are with Maïwenn met, I asked her: Would you rather have a Frenchman in the role of King Louis XV? She thought about it for a second and answered: No, I want you to play him!“ said the famous pirate from the Caribbean during the press conference for the film. Further according to the website People he added that it was a bold move by the director to cast some guy from Kentucky as the monarch (the American state in which Johnny Depp was born, editor’s note).
After the gala screening the audience in the hall was excited. They showed their feelings with a seven-minute standing ovation that moved Depp to tearsas seen in the video that on Twitter placed by Variety magazine.
In the new film, Melvil Poupaud, Pascal Greggory, Benjamin Lavernhe and the legend of French cinema Pierre Richard starred alongside Depp.
