A spokeswoman for Johnny Depp denied reports that the actor has been offered $10 million to become the “face” of Trojan condoms, as the U.K.'s Daily Star and other media reported.
"There is no truth to this," said the spokeswoman, Robin Baum, according to Portfolio.com. "He has not been approached."
A call to Baum was not immediately returned to FOXNews.com.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star, 44, is currently filming "Public Enemies," in which he plays gangster John Dillinger.
While crews set up shop at Aurora's Paramount Theatre Sunday to film a portion of the movie "Public Enemies" starring Johnny Depp, about 100 fans waited outside for a celebrity sighting.
No luck. Better luck today.
Kim Smoot, head of security at Paramount, said the shoot featuring Depp would take place Monday morning. But die-hard fans waited around anyway, just in case he showed up.
The major motion picture starring Johnny Depp will focus on American gangster John Dillinger and the birth of the FBI.
Kristen Conforti, 20, of Bartlett, got to the theater at 4 a.m. She's got a shrine dedicated to him in her house and she's seen every single one of Depp's movies on opening night.
She remained hopeful.
"Nobody else wanted to come out here with me and wake up at 3:30 a.m.," she said. "I'm determined."
Megan Schaefer, 19, of Crystal Lake found out about Depp's filming from a Johnny Depp blog. She dragged a couple of Depp-lovers with her to Aurora anxious to meet her favorite star.
"No matter what they say, we're waiting anyway," she said.
They had even bigger plans for today.
"We're gonna come earlier," Schaefer said. "If he's really gonna be here, we're getting up early."
Cecilia Smith, 33, drove all the way from Hobart, Ind. -- about 90 minutes -- in hopes of seeing the world's most famous living pirate.
She has two Johnny Depp images tattooed on her right arm. The last time she met Depp, he autographed her arm, so she got his signature tattooed near the images as well.
Smith also brought a photo album filled with Depp pictures, some of which she shot herself.
"I wanted some more pictures, and I'm still hoping to get some pictures with him," she said. "I'm excited and I'm very happy for the nice weather."
Johnny Depp's fans got to see him up close and personal early Tuesday morning in Aurora.
He's in town filming his new movie "Public Enemies."
Depp was expected to greet fans outside the Paramount Theater at 7 p.m. Monday, but the actor didn't show up until midnight. Despite the late hour, fans waited for him.
"Just to be here. Just to be part of this is amazing. I've never done this before. I'm such a fan," said one person who got to meet Depp.
"This is just so exciting... I think I saw him pull up in his car, but now knowing he's about not that far. My stomach is flipping," said another.
Some of the fans drove hours for a glimpse of the actor, who has been seen in several locations around the Chicago area. Depp is starring with Christian Bale in teh movie. he plays John Dillinger. The interior of the Paramount is being used to replicate the interior of Chicago's Biograph Theater, where Dillinger was shot by federal agents in 1934 after seeing a movie.
Item numbers may just have risen a notch higher. After all, it's not everyday that we see Johnny Depp gyrating to one!
If things go as planned, Depp may perform an item number for Mira Nair's Shantaram.
When we asked the film's music director, Vishal Bhardwaj, about this, he exclaimed, "I pray and hope! Doing an item number for Johnny Depp will be a pleasure!"
Even though the film is not yet on the floors, its music has been decided.
"We will have two Sufi songs and one item number in Shantaram," Bhardwaj informs us.
Shantaram, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan, is based on Gregory David Roberts' bestseller on his life on Mumbai's streets.
But now it looks like we can add a third thing to the list of things Johnny Depp excels at - actually saving people's lives from certain death. It's been reported that Johnny Depp saved the lives of six extras on the set of his new movie recently by diving at them, pushing them clear of an out-of-control stunt car heading in their direction.
Which, if true, is actually quite nice. Brave even. Which is hardly very helpful for those of us who have to be rude about famous people for a living. Johnny Depp, eh? What a titting bastard.
Right now Johnny Depp is filming Public Enemies, a movie about 1930s American gangsters and the birth of the FBI. And - in news which will come as a shock to Johnny Depp's many Pirates Of The Caribbean fans - it looks as if there won't be any furious mugging on his part to make up for the fact that it's three hours long, contains no story whatsoever and co-stars a young British man who's about as charismatic as soggy dust.
But what Public Enemies will contain is six extras, all with fully-working limbs and sets of ribs that haven't been shattered into splinters by speeding period cars. And we've got Johnny Depp to thank for that.
According to reports from the set of Public Enemies, Johnny Depp saved the lives of the aforementioned extras by flinging himself at them as a runaway car sped towards them. You know, like a superhero would. eFluxMedia reports:
The 44-year-old actor was shooting a scene as bank robber John Dillinger when a stunt-driver in a 1933 Ford car sped onto a patch of ice and lost control of the vehicle. The car skidded towards the group of extras, who were standing with their backs turned and were oblivious to the imminent danger. Depp noticed the accident that was about to happen and acted. An eyewitness told News of the World: “Johnny slammed into the group with arms outspread, shoving them all back.”
That's one for the DVD extras, then. If this report is true - and not a hopelessly-inflated publicist-informed exaggeration designed to draw attention to the movie, then Johnny Depp should truly be congratulated. He's good at writing his own name and risking his life to save the innocent? People can usually either only do one or the other.
But, as honestly heartwarming as all of this is, it still leaves us in the pickle of trying to work some pithiness into affairs. The only option really left to us is to make up a lie, either about Johnny Depp slowing the stunt car down by throwing a baby under the wheels or to make a crack about how he looks. Wait, we'll flip a coin…
God, Johnny Depp sometimes grows a really stupid-looking beard.
Yeah, that'll do.
Depp has previously been quoted saying, “For all intents and purposes, we are married. . .If she ever said, ‘Hey, let’s get hitched,’ I would do it in a second.”
Looks like the wedding is a green light, as a “family insider” revealed to Life & Style magazine, “Vanessa recently told Johnny that she would love to have a wedding,” and Depp’s response? “Johnny loves Vanessa very much, and he said that if that’s what would make her happy, then he’d marry her.”
