Director Maven didn’t mean to say that actor Johnny Depp ‘intimidated’ his crew on the set of his film Jean du Barry. In a new interview with Variety, the director said she was trying to mention the actor’s ‘charisma’ and ‘star status’ but in a previous publication her words were taken out of context. He now described Johnny as one of the ‘greatest’ actors and compared him to Marlon Brando.

In the new interview, the director said: “I want to be absolutely clear: Johnny Depp is a huge actor. One of the greatest. He reminds me a lot of Brando – his genius and suffering, his generosity and contradictions. Even though We argued many times on set, but he’s someone I absolutely respect and admire, and it’s important for me to get my story straight because I feel really betrayed by this interview with Charlotte O’Sullivan. I am doing it.
‘I should have used this word…’
He continued his previous comments about how the crew was ‘afraid’ of him on set and added, “When I made a comment about Johnny being ‘scary’, I was talking about his charisma, his notoriety, his star status, etc. Was talking about.” I was shocked when I found out that the newspaper had given the headline ‘Crew was scared’ [Johnny Depp]’ Because written that way, and without its context and nuances, it doesn’t mean quite the same thing anymore. The journalist did not want to understand the subtleties of my words. Let me make things absolutely clear: Johnny is ‘scary’ in the sense that his charisma and his status as ‘king’ is impressive. If I had known that Charlotte O’Sullivan would use my words in such a malicious way I should have used the word ‘influential’.
Johnny plays the French King Louis XV in the play Jean Du Barry, which first premiered as the opening night film at the Cannes Film Festival. After the world premiere, the actor received a 7-minute standing ovation and was left in tears as the crowd applauded him. It is his first film since his high-profile trial with ex-wife Amber Heard last year. The film will be released in American theaters on May 2.
