Johnny Depp claims he is being boycotted by Hollywood

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp, who lost a libel case last year over an article that called him a 'wife-beater', claimed that he is being boycotted by the industry.

"Some films touch people and this affects those in 'Minamata' and people who experience similar things...And for anything ... for Hollywood's boycott of me? One man, one actor in an unpleasant and messy situation, over the last number of years?" he said.

For the unversed, last year, Depp lost a libel case against British tabloid The Sun, which referred to the actor as a 'wife beater' in an article about him and his ex-wife Amber Heard.

After the case, the actor was dropped by Warner Bros. from its 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise and was replaced with Mads Mikkelsen in the role of evil wizard Grindelwald.
