A Jesmond bar was packed out on Wednesday night after a rumour circulated online that Johnny Depp was there.
And while the speculation proved to be way off the mark, the team at Jam Jar on Osborne Road certainly aren’t complaining after takings went through the roof.
Around 7.30pm on June 1, while the ears of the world were on a court in Fairfax, Virginia for the outcome of the Depp v Heard defamation case, Newcastle was thrown into a frenzy when movie icon Johnny was spotted at The Bridge Tavern down the Quayside, minutes before the verdict was due.
