Johnny Depp breaks his silence: "Hollywood is boycotting me"
Johnny Depp has decided to grant his first interview in a long time to explain what is happening to him from his point of view: "There is a Hollywood boycott of me," the actor assured The Sunday Times.
Although the interpreter does not have permission to talk about the relationship with Amber Heard, his ex-wife, or the case (which will be tried in April next year), so he has taken advantage of the premiere of his latest film The Minamata Photographer to explain in the interview how these last five controversial years have affected his life.
Depp has confessed that his situation is not the most serious thing that happens at the moment: "like being scratched by a kitten compared to people who have suffered from covid." But he has also hinted that his new film, which does not yet have a US release date, would get more attention if it weren't for his personal life.
The actor has assured that he is trying to move towards the right side: "Where do I have to go to bring things to light". Furthermore, he has added how he now sees his downfall: “Everything I've been through, I've been through. But, in the end, this particular part of my life has been absurd. "

The one who played Eduardo Scissorhands has shown his sorrow because something that theoretically only concerns him ends up affecting many more people: “And why? For Hollywood to boycott me? A man, an actor in an unpleasant and complicated situation, throughout the last years?
Despite all the problems, Depp did appreciate having the support of his followers: “I'm proud of those people for what they try to say, which is the truth. The truth that they try to get out since it does not appear in many mainstream publications. It is a long road that sometimes gets rough. Sometimes just stupid. But they continue on the path with me and it is for them that I will fight. Always to the end. Whatever it is ”.

The actor had not arranged an interview since he sued The Sun for treating him in a headline of "wife beater", something that the judge considered true and for which he lost the case.
The interpreter received good news when it was announced last week that he would be in charge of collecting the Donostia Award in tribute to his entire career, which has attracted much criticism.
But José Luís Rebordinos, the director of the San Sebastián Festival has not hesitated to answer: “According to the proven data we have, Johnny Depp has not been arrested, accused or convicted of any form of aggression or violence against any woman . We insist: he has not been charged by any instance or jurisdiction, or convicted of violence against women. The rejection of any violent or harassing behavior and the presumption of innocence are part and will be part of our ethical principles ”.
Johnny Depp has come to lose roles in sagas in which he played great roles such as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean or Gerardo Grindelwald in Fantastic Animals and where to find them.
