Not bad for someone who declared those legal battles had cost him “nothing less than everything”. It’s not clear how much Depp would get paid for rejoining the billion-dollar franchise, but it’s been rumoured it could be around $300 million. There are even suggestions that Depp will be starring in the sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film despite being unceremoniously dropped by Disney post-trial, after producer Jerry Bruckheimer said he would “love to see him in the movie”. One year on, the 59-year-old actor is in Cannes, getting seven-minute standing ovations for his new period piece, Jeanne du Barry – in which he plays King Louis XV – being greeted by chants of “We love Johnny!” from his fans on the Croisette and attending glitzy Christian Dior dinners, having recently signed a $20 million three-year deal with the fashion and fragrance brand to continue to be the face of Dior Sauvage.
Depp may have lost his libel case with The Sun – who claimed he was a wife beater – less than two years prior, but on 13 July 2022 a Virginia judge ruled against the 37-year-old Aquaman actress, finding that an op-ed she had written for the Washington Post in which she accused the actor of domestic abuse was indeed defamatory, and ordered Depp to be paid $10.35 million in damages.
