Johnny Depp has been seen in Paris filming his first movie since winning his libel lawsuit against Amber Heard.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor smiled when he arrived at his hotel in the French capital, wearing a hat and sunglasses.
He was escorted by security when he entered.
It is thought that Depp will star as the disgraced King Louis XV in the film, directed by French star Maiwenn.
It is set to shoot at the Palace of Versailles and around Paris.
Not much else is known about the film, and the plot is still very much a secret.
Louis XV reigned as King of France for 59 years, from 1715 to 1774. Despite being known as Louis the Beloved, at the end of his reign he was disgraced and accused of debauchery and corruption.
The shoot comes after Depp’s six-week lawsuit against his ex-wife Heard, which he won.
Depp has filed a lawsuit against the Aquaman actress over an article she wrote about her experiences with domestic violence. The actor was not named in the op-ed, which was published by The Washington Post in 2018, but his legal team argued that it suggested he was being physical and abusive towards her.
A jury found that Heard defamed Depp with the article and he was awarded $8.35 million (£6.7 million) in damages after rebates, while the actress herself was also awarded $2 million (£1.6 million) in damages. after suing her ex-husband.
An insider has since told People: “[Johnny] isn’t even talking about the process now.
“I filed the lawsuit because I thought it was necessary. He did go further. He can now do what he loves most. He enjoys performing and has a busy summer ahead of him. He’s looking forward to it too [continuing] to work. He just wants his career back. He likes filming.’
He is also touring the UK with Jeff Beck and will be touring with his Hollywood Vampires bandmates next year.
Meanwhile, Heard recently sat down for an interview on the TODAY Show, saying she will stand by her claims in the process forever.
