Johnny Depp spends $62,000 on Indian food to celebrate legal win

Mo Hussain, the owner of Varanasi, said the actor was humble and in good spirits

Actor Johnny Depp was spotted dining at an Indian restaurant, Varanasi, in Birmingham, United Kingdom on Sunday. According to TMZ, the actor splurged a whopping $62,000 at the restaurant, which he booked out entirely for the evening.

Depp was joined by English musician Jeff Beck and 20 other friends. The Hollywood actor is allegedly expected to appear on stage alongside Beck in the latter's concert later this month.

Depp also interacted with the restaurant staff, owner and his daughters. Mo Hussain, the owner of Varanasi, said that Depp was humble and in good spirits, and seemed to be smiling a "smile of relief".

The actor has been spotted at various restaurants across the UK post his win in the defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard. Earlier this week, he was spotted enjoying a British meal of fish and chips in a pub in Newcastle.

The couple divorced in 2016. In 2018, Amber Heard wrote an article in The Washington Post, in which she described dealing with domestic abuse, without mentioning Depp’s name. Post the release of the article, Depp sued Heard for $50 million in damages.

The highly publicised trial lasted for about six weeks. The jury found that Heard could not back her allegations against Depp with concrete evidence, and concluded that her claims of abuse were false.
