Pregnant bar manager left starstruck when Johnny Depp wandered into her pub

A pregnant bar manager was left starstruck after Johnny Depp wandered into the pub she was working in - and even got parental advice from the actor. Bar manager Lauren Whittington couldn't believe it when actor Johnny Depp showed up in the middle of her shift at the Bridge Tavern pub in Newcastle.

The local pub was buzzing when drinkers saw the actor was hanging out with musicians Sam Fender, who hails from Newcastle, and Jeff Beck. After taking photos with the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor, Lauren was all ears as Depp dished out parenting advice when he realised she was pregnant.

Starstruck Lauren said: "None of us could believe it, he went unnoticed for maybe an hour before anyone realised it was him and Jeff Beck just sat eating Fish and Chips together in the corner. His security came over and asked if there was any way we could get Sam Fender in without people ambushing him, so we shut off our upstairs terrace for them to go up there, they were really grateful and stayed for a couple of hours, with Sam staying long after Johnny and Jeff left.
