Johnny Depp is 'in really good spirits' and bears 'no animosity toward anybody' as he continues his comeback, it is claimed.
Depp, 60, spent years as a pariah in Hollywood amid his highly publicized legal battles with his ex-wife Amber Heard, 38.
They waged a blistering war of lawsuits against one another, accusing each other of abuse after their 15-month marriage disintegrated in 2016.
After his victory in a defamation case against Heard in 2022, Depp was met with a rapturous reception at last year's Cannes Film Festival, where he premiered his French romantic drama Jeanne du Barry.
Now, with Jeanne du Barry out in theaters in the US, an insider has told People that Depp is 'focused on moving forward. He's keeping busy. There’s a lot of good distractions, so there's not that much time to be reminiscing on that darker period.'

The insider added: 'There’s been a release of the old and embarking on this new chapter. He’s feeling better about where he is in life.'
He is said to be 'very excited' for the release of Jeanne du Barry, which served as 'a good challenge' for him as he 'did the entire film in French.'
Depp stars as Louis XV in the story of the French king's affair with his favorite mistress Madame du Barry, played by the film's director Maïwenn.
The source continued: 'He is prioritizing his health and wellbeing much more these days. People were loving his look for the Jeanne du Barry UK premiere.'
As the insider noted: 'He got a new haircut, he looked polished and clean-cut. He’s lost weight. He’s feeling and looking healthier.'
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Depp's revamped look at his film's UK premiere was partly the work of renowned Paris hairstylist Odile Gilbert.
Depp is purportedly 'taking advantage of being in this better headspace. There’s a lot of good energy, and he surrounds himself with a good group of people.'
Heard had to pay him $1 million after losing the defamation case that he brought against her after she accused him of physical abuse.

Their lurid 2022 trial unfolded in the headlines, with Depp accusing Heard of having left feces in his bed as a bizarre prank on her 30th birthday.
After the trial ended, Heard sold her home in Yucca Valley, California for a reported $1.1 million and moved to Madrid with her daughter Oonagh, three.
Heard turned 38 in Spain last week, cheerfully declaring on Instagram that she was indulging in a 'Champagne kind of birthday.'
Meanwhile, sources recently informed DailyMail.com that Depp has undergone a radical transformation, losing weight and shrugging off his previous grungy look as he embraces 'a cleaner lifestyle than at times in the past.'
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star has been staying in London while editing his directorial feature Modi, a biopic of the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani.
Al Pacino is one of the co-producers of the movie, which stars Italian actor Riccardo Scamarcio at the head of a cast that includes Miranda actress Sally Phillips.
Although Depp does not appear in Modi and is currently devoting his energies to directing, sources assured TMZ that he is not retiring from acting.
When he feels the moment is opportune, he is said to be open to the prospect of starring in a Hollywood movie again.
