Johnny Depp decries ‘cancel culture’ before receiving top prize

Nobody is safe from so-called ‘cancel culture,’ movie star Johnny Depp said at the San Sebastian Film Festival where he was due to receive the event’s top award for his nearly 40-year career on screen. Depp, 58, lost a libel battle with a British tabloid that labelled him a ‘wife beater’ last year, when a London court ruled he had repeatedly assaulted his former partner, US actor Amber Heard. Since then the actor has complained of being boycotted by Hollywood as his latest film Minamata struggled to secure a US release.
