Jeanne du Barry director Maïwenn says crew was ‘scared’ of Johnny Depp: 'It's difficult to shoot with him'

Hindustan Times  

Director Maïwenn reportedly had a tough time filming the French film Jeanne du Barry, with actor Johnny Depp. In an interview with The Independent ahead of the film's US release next month, the director has now revealed that it was ‘difficult’ to shoot with the actor, and that the entire crew were ‘afraid’ of him. All the crew were scared because he has a different kind of humour and we didn’t know if he was going to be on time, or if he was going to be OK to say his lines… I mean, even if he was there on set, on time, the crew were afraid of him.” She further continued, “There was no time for rehearsals. The period drama, in which he plays French king Louis XV, marks Johnny's first film after his high-profile trial last year with his ex-wife Amber Heard.
