French filmmaker-actress Maiwenn`s historical drama `Jeanne du Barry`, starring Johnny Depp as the French king Louis XV, had its world premiere on the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival`s 76th edition. Depp, alongwith cast members and the film`s director, attended the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival. The actor was spotted posing on the red carpet, dressed in a coat, purple-hued sunglasses and his hair tied back in a ponytail.

The 59-year-old star was greeted with a standing ovation as he entered the theatre. Videos on social media show the actor entering the crowded screening hall, holding the hands of Maiwenn as people clapped.
