Actor Johnny Depp has been a part of the entertainment industry for roughly four decades now. He became a worldwide sensation thanks to his outstanding acting skills and charming on-screen persona, however, over the past few years, his work has been overshadowed due to his controversies.
The legal case involving Johnny Depp and Amber Heard was a high-profile case that attracted significant media attention. The case involved allegations of domestic abuse and defamation between the two actors, who were married between 2015 and 2016. These allegations had a significant impact on Depp’s public image and now with the case settled, the actor is working hard to redeem himself.

Actor Johnny Depp‘s latest film was screened at the 76th Cannes Film Festival and the actor was quite nervous about it. Depp plays a supporting role in the movie, however, he was anxious as this was his first major role since his high-profile case with his ex-wife, Amber Heard.
The movie received mixed reviews from the critics and Depp’s appearance at the event attracted a lot of media attention. There are also speculations that Depp is preparing for a major comeback.
The actor talked about his comeback
At the event, Depp was asked about his rumored “comeback” and the actor smartly explained that he never left,
“I mean, you call it whatever you want, you could make it whatever you want but comeback? I mean, you have to go away to come back. I didn’t go nowhere. Maybe I was not thought of or looked at or allowed to be looked at. People can hit the bottom many times. You can drop straight to the bottom a billion f***ing times, but if you’re lucky enough to find the basement, you’re alright, you know?”
It seems like the actor is confident that he will be able to bounce back despite the abuse allegations.
