- Julian Assange promoted the documentary "The Six Billion Dollar Man" at the Cannes Festival on May 20, 2025, wearing a T-shirt naming Gaza children killed in conflict.

- Assange's wife Stella confirmed he has "really recovered physically and mentally," and the film's premiere highlights the highly political nature of this year's Cannes Festival.
