Johnny Depp Comments on So-Called ‘Cancel Culture,’ Argues That ‘No One Is Safe’

Johnny Depp spoke at length about what he deemed “cancel culture” during a pre-festival press conference on Wednesday.

Ahead of being given an honorary award at the San Sebastian Film Festival, as first reported by Deadline, Depp criticized “this instant rush to judgment” and told those listening to “stand up” against what he described as injustices.

“Do I feel safe myself? Yeah, I do, I do now,” Depp said at one point in the presser, as seen in the tweeted clip below. “Because it’s important when you’re faced with something as mind-bogglingly bewildering, that sort of thing hits you from many, many angles. … However, it’s so far out of hand now that I could promise you that no one is safe. Not one of you. Not anyone out that door. No one is safe as long as someone is willing to say one sentence. It takes one sentence and then there’s no more ground.”
