Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp dropped into rural Lincolnshire yesterday to buy guitars from an antique shop.
Depp arrived by helicopter at the Hemswell Antique centre to take staff by surprise.
The secret visit had been arranged by Robert Miller, the centre owner.
Hemswell has a strong business link with Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire.
Mr Miller said:
“My staff didn’t know until the last minute.
“He was very down to earth and very chatty.
“For someone like that to come through our doors was brilliant.
“He played with and bought a few guitars.
“I’m sure he will be back.
“He enjoyed his experience here because he was able to be himself.
“He said he is in hotels a lot of the time because he’s constantly bombarded by people.”
One member of staff later posted:
“Hollywood meets Hemswell.
“Starstruck staff can’t quite believe who walks through the door.
Some of Depp’s most famous films include Chocolate, Pirates of the Caribbean, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Edward Scissorhands.
