Story highlights

Johnny Depp's new movie tells the story of an Italian artist named Amedeo Modigliani.

It seems like Johnny Depp wants to start afresh. He's been in the news a lot lately because of his messy divorce from Amber Heard and their court fights. Many people criticised him during this time. 

But now, he's focusing on something new - he's directing a movie called Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Depp said he's not angry at anyone, even though many people turned against him during his troubles. He's choosing not to hold grudges about what happened and instead wants to focus on his work as a movie director.  

What Johnny Depp said 

Depp was asked about his previous comment, where he stated that his life had become a ‘soap opera.’ He said, “Honestly, I can sit here this very second and think about all the hit pieces, and how everybody was against me, and yeah yeah yeah he is off the map … endless stuff. I can remember it all. Went through it all. Some of it was not the most beautiful time, some of it was hilarious. Some of it was mad. The thing is, it simply just was, and it simply just is. So, for me, it happened. I learned, man. Everything that we experience, whether you’re given a snow cone or walking your dog, you learn something somewhere along the way. So, I don’t have any ill feelings toward anyone. I don’t have this great reserve of hatred, because hatred requires caring. Why carry that baggage?” 

Upcoming film 

Johnny Depp's new movie tells the story of an Italian artist named Amedeo Modigliani. The story takes place in Paris in 1916 and shows three difficult days in the artist's life. Depp showed this movie for the first time at a film festival in Rome, where he also got a special award for his long career in movies.

Earlier this year, Depp was in another movie called Jeanne du Barry, where he played a French king.  

Before these movies, Johnny Depp was in the news because he and his former wife Amber Heard had a court fight. Johnny won this case, and the court said Amber had to pay him a lot of money - $10 million as compensation and another $350,000 as punishment.
