May 03 (THAINDIAN NEWS) According to reports in The Sun Johnny Depp has walked right out of the movies to become a real life action star. The forty-six year old star of “Alice in Wonderland” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” was said to have stepped in and stopped a would be crime when his friend, British singer Stephen Jones was held up for his cash by a wanna be mugger who was brandishing a broken bottle.

Johnny Depp and his musical pal, Stephen Jones-the frontman for Babybird were leaving a Los Angeles recording studio when Jones was reportedly accosted by the mugger. Depp supposedly rescued Jones “from a mugger brandishing a broken bottle” according to reports. “It was an extremely scary moment,” another “friend” tells the Sun. “This guy looked off his head.”

So how exactly did a movie star who has so far only pretended to be an action hero/villain and more end up saving his friend from being mugged? “Johnny looked him straight in the eyes and told him to back off,” claims the friend, after which the wide-eyed hoodlum supposedly stared at Depp and said, “‘I ain’t stealing from Captain Jack’” before putting the bottle down. “Johnny gave him a few bucks and told him to straighten up his life.”

It is being reported at one gossip cop sight that this entire story is a hoax. The site claims that Johnny Depp was not in Los Angeles when this reportedly happened, nor was he even in the US. They swear that Depp is supposedly still in Europe, and that Depp’s representative said that the bottle bandit incident never happened. Since several other sites than “The Sun” have claimed the story as true, it seems to be the case.

In other Johnny Depp news, the actor has reportedly been chosen by Ozzie Osborn as well as his wife, Sharon, to play the part of the rock star in a movie about Ozzie’s life. Ozzy Osbourne, 61, said last year of his life; “What’s left to wish for? A number one album would be good. And to have a movie made of the book, maybe with Johnny Depp playing me - I’d like that. “But, really, I’d like to go back in time and make better choices. Still, I know now that there is no such place as Utopia. Even if I do make it to heaven, you can bet your life the toilet will stink.”
