JOHNNY DEPP - DEPP BUYS DRINKS FOR WHOLE PUB

Hollywood hunk JOHNNY DEPP bought drinks for an entire London pub yesterday (18JUL05) to celebrate the British premiere of new movie CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

The actor had just left the red carpet event when he paid a surprise visit to famous Leicester Square pub, Waxy O'Connors, and quenched the thirst of more than 50 tourists and Londoners.

And his generosity didn't end there - on the way home immensely boosted the profits of a homeless person, buying ten copies of charity magazine The Big Issue.

One customer says, "It was absolutely unbelievable. We were just enjoying a pint and all of a sudden people started whispering that they thought Johnny Depp had just walked in.

"He had some security with him and he was grinning. He spoke to his entourage and said this one was going to be on him.

"And with that he proceeded to buy more than 50 people a drink."
