In a sprawling interview with The Times U.K., Johnny Depp claimed he was a “crash test dummy for #MeToo,” reflecting on his protracted legal battle with actress and ex-wife Amber Heard.
“My comeback? Honestly? I didn’t go anywhere,” he said. “If I had the chance to split I would never come back.”
The Pirates of the Caribbean star, who classified his ousting from Hollywood as a “boycott,” praised the San Sebastián International Film Festival for sticking with him through “all the hit pieces, the bullsh–.” In 2021, the fest awarded him the prestigious Donostia, its highest accolade, and last year, his second directorial effort, Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness, garnered a long-standing ovation by the crowd.
