Frechette was half French and half American Indian - so Cotillard could get away with a little bit of a French accent, but nothing as pronounced as the way she normally speaks. Listening to her praise Depp to the skies - "generous," "amazing," "a passionate actor" - it's possible she may be blurring her co-star with his role.Īs an example of Depp's generosity, she talked about how supportive he was during scenes together when she was struggling to achieve a proper accent.

"I only knew Bonnie and Clyde because of the movie," she said. Growing up in Paris and Orléans, Cotillard had never heard of Dillinger. In "Public Enemies," she's played by Marion Cotillard, an Academy Award winner in 2008 for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in "La Vie En Rose." Cotillard takes on another actual person: Billie Frechette, who was Dillinger's girlfriend and drove a getaway car for him.

He has a deep understanding of a troubled past and a troubled life, but is someone who is a very passionate man. "I know there are dark currents within Johnny and also from his past life, and I know he has a lot of John Dillinger inside of him. "A lot of what goes on inside Johnny Depp could be used and revealed," Mann said. Depp's inspiration was a grandfather who ran home-distilled alcohol during Prohibition. "We couldn't have planned it."Īll the filmmaker's instincts told him that he had the right leading man, a feeling confirmed when he talked to Depp and found out the actor had thought about playing Dillinger for 20 years.
