Johnny Depp presented himself as a victim of “cancel culture”, which he says has spread across the cinema industry, as he took centre stage at a prestigious Spanish film festival to receive a top award.

Depp was answering questions on Wednesday from reporters at the San Sebastian International Film Festival about the loss of Hollywood’s favour for new roles ever since his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, went public with allegations of domestic violence against him.
