Johnny Depp: "No one is safe" from cancel culture

San Sebastián, Sep 22 (EFE) .- Johnny Depp, protagonist of the day at the San Sebastián Festival, which will present him with the Donostia Award tonight, has assured on Wednesday at a press conference that "no one is safe from cancel culture""No one is safe but if you are armed with the truth, it is all you need," said Depp when asked about the extent of the culture of cancellation after the controversy caused by the awarding of the Donostia award to the actor, which has been immersed in a legal battle over an accusation of mistreatment.Depp has considered that it is a "very complicated" situation and that when he has been affected by these "instantaneous judgments based on polluted air", his first reaction was of disbelief.The actor has referred to "movements" that have appeared "with the best of intentions, but then have gotten out of hand to such an extent that no one is safe.""It is something that affects not only me, but many people, men, women, as long as there is someone willing to say a single sentence," he lamented. "There comes a point where you think it's normal but it's not."The protagonist of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" saga has concluded by publicly asking that whoever witnesses an injustice does not stand still. "When there is an injustice, against you or someone you love or believe in, get up, don't just sit around, because they need you."Depp has arrived on time for his appointment with the journalists after the delay he suffered last night in his arrival in San Sebastián due to "incidents with the flights".Tonight he will receive the Donostia Award for being considered "one of the most talented and versatile actors in contemporary cinematography", a year after his visit to the Zinemaldia to present "Drinking with Shane MacGowan", by Julien Temple, in whose production he had participated and that it obtained the Special Prize of the Jury.STATEMENTS BY JOHNNY DEPP, AT A PRESS CONFERENCE.
