Johnny Depp's string of public appearances is continuing after his court victory over ex-wife Amber Heard in a defamation suit, with the actor receiving warm welcomes seemingly everywhere he goes in the United Kingdom.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star has joined his friend, guitarist Jeff Beck, on his U.K. tour in the days following the trial.
Footage shared on social media shows Depp being cheered on by fans who gathered to see him leave his hotel in Birmingham, England.
One TikTok user, by the name of staceyskirv12, shared two clips of Depp leaving a building in the city to a throng of fans surrounding the entrance and cheering for the 58-year-old.
One loud fan can be heard shouting: "Captain Jack Sparrow forever!"
This clip has clocked up more than 70,000 views, while a second clip, with almost 100,000 views, shows the huge crowd that had gathered to wait for Depp to leave the hotel.
Local publication Birmingham Live reports that the crowd gathered at The Grand Hotel before his performance at Symphony Hall on Monday night.
This appearance comes after it was reported that the actor racked up a huge bill at an Indian restaurant in Birmingham called Varanasi over the weekend.
TMZ reported that a member of the restaurant staff, Mohammed Hussain, said Depp's final bill came to around £50,000 ($60,000) in total.
Speaking to the Press Association, per the BBC, Hussain said that Depp was "very humble and he stayed to talk and greet everyone."
He added: "Some of the staff were asking about the recent court case but he was just smiling—it was a smile of relief.
"They spent a lot of money, it's a big venue to hire out, but they never even looked at the bill. He gave a large tip."
Depp has now officially joined TikTok after he trended for months on the platform during his trial against Heard.
The six-week trial ended with a jury finding that Heard had defamed Depp with actual malice, ordering her to pay him $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages (the latter of which was adjusted to $350,000 in line with Virginia law limits).
His celebrations and newfound TikTok fame come as Heard's sister broke her silence on the verdict on Monday.
"I still stand with you, sissy. Yesterday, today and tomorrow I will always be proud of you for standing up for yourself, for testifying both here in Virginia and in the UK, and for being the voice of so many who can't speak to the things that happen behind closed doors," Whitney Henriquez wrote in a lengthy Instagram post.
"We knew that this was going to be an uphill battle and that the cards were stacked against us. But you stood up and spoke out regardless."
Henriquez said she was "so honored" to testify on Heard's behalf and pledged that she "would do it a million times over because I know what I saw and because the truth is forever on your side."
She continued: "I'm so sorry that it wasn't reflected in the decision made by this jury, but I will never give up on you, and neither will anyone who stands with you. Forever by your side... #istandwithamberheard."
