London, Jul 1 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star Johnny Depp was praised by everyone on the red carpet at Empire Leicester Square, where the premiere of his latest movie 'Public Enemies' took place.

Depp, 46, who arrived early dressed in a black suit and shades, looking every inch the gangster that he's playing in the film, greeted waiting fans and signed autographs for nearly an hour.

"He's a brilliant bloke. We didn't go out drinking but spent a lot of time supping red wine and watching the Fast Show together. We shared a sense of humour," the Sun quoted Brit star Stephen Graham as saying.

Marion Cotillard said: "Johnny is a wonderful actor and a wonderful human being."

And Charlie and the Chocolate Factory co-star Freddie Highmore revealed that he had received an e-mail from Johnny inviting him to the premiere.

"We've kept in touch since Charlie, he's a very down to earth bloke," he added. (ANI)
