Johnny Depp Says He Felt ‘Strangely, Oddly, Perversely Lucky’ to Be Offered Role of King Louis XV in ‘Jeanne du Barry’


Johnny Depp said he felt 'strangely, oddly, perversely lucky' to have gotten the part of King Louis XV in Maiwenn's 'Jeanne du Barry.'

Johnny Depp said he felt “strangely, oddly, perversely lucky” to have been offered the role of French King Louis XV at the U.K. premiere of his new film “Jeanne du Barry.” Whatever we did, whatever we experienced I think and I hope you’ll find it was well worth the agony of this kid trying to make a film for that length of time.” The crowd in London on Monday evening, which included Depp’s “Pirates of the Carribean” co-star Mackenzie Crook, were similarly enamored, applauding as the actor took to the stage.
