Depp fan forks out $91,000

He's gorgeous, super-intelligent and cooler than ice but would you fork out $USD91,000 just to stand near Johnny Depp?

Well there's a Gilbert Grape groupie out there who would. Apparently a fan paid the staggering amount to appear as an extra in a non-speaking role opposite the Oscar-nominated actor. Titled 'Public Enemies' the film tells the story of America's criminal folk hero John Dillinger.

Money from the charitybuzz.com auction will go to the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial, a living memorial which aims to "advance the human rights movement by providing innovative support to courageous human rights defenders
around the world who have won the RFK Human Rights Award".

Charitybuzz.com CEO Coppy Holzman said: "We are thrilled to have been able to raise so much money for Robert's wife Ethel Kennedy and The RFK Memorial."

Got some spare change? You might want to bid for other experiences available in the auction, which runs until May 14, including the chance to meet Will Smith at the premiere of his new film 'Hancock' and the opportunity to star in hit US TV show 'Numb3rs'.

I think you should read the article. Johnny doesn't get the money. A fan won an auction for charity to get the spot on the movie, they didn't pay Depp himself.
