Part 5/16:

Johnny Depp’s reputation continues to be a subject of debate. Recent reports depict him as a difficult and somewhat diva-like actor on set. The French director behind Depp’s recent movie Jean du Barry describes him as demanding, frequently rewriting scripts, ignoring instructions, and only communicating with her through entourage, which allegedly made the crew fearful. Depp’s behavior, including ignoring texts and arriving late, has reportedly created a tense atmosphere. Despite her admiration for Depp’s talent, the director acknowledges that Depp exists “in his own world,” making communication and collaboration challenging. This portrayal feeds into the narrative that Depp is difficult but not necessarily malicious—more like a brilliant yet eccentric artist who’s hard to handle.
