“We had a call out of the blue on Sunday afternoon saying that Johnny Depp wanted to come to eat with a group of people,” Mohammed Hussain, operations director of Varanasi, told the Post.

“I was shocked, and at first, I thought it might have been a joke. But then his security team arrived and checked out the restaurant, and we let them have the whole place because we were concerned that he might be bothered by other diners,” Mr Hussain added.

The star was declared a “down-to-earth bloke” by the restaurant staff, according to the Post report. 

Depp was hanging out with musician friend and guitarist Jeff Beck, 77, and 20 other people.
