Johnny Depp has paid a visit to a wildlife rescue centre in Kent.

A picture of the Hollywood megastar was shared on Facebook by Folly Wildlife Rescue in Tunbridge Wells this afternoon.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star is currently joining guitarist Jeff Beck - a patron of Folly Wildlife Rescue - on his UK tour.

The post states that Jeff's wife Sandra brought Depp to visit the animal hospital to see the work they do with wildlife.

"Guess who's been to see us at Folly Wildlife Rescue - no, you're not seeing things - that's the real Johnny Depp," it reads.

"As you probably know, Johnny has been appearing with our patron Jeff Beck on his UK tour and in a recent break, Jeff's wife Sandra brought him up to visit us and see for himself the work we do with wildlife.

"And what an incredible afternoon it was for our staff and volunteers, as he toured the hospital's care and vet units.

"Johnny was incredibly complimentary and in his own words 'blown away' by what he saw.

"To top the visit off, we even allowed him the rare privilege of briefly holding Freddie (as in Mercury) one of the many orphaned badger cubs we're currently hand rearing - and I think it's fair to say he was bowled over by the whole experience!"

Depp, 58, who yesterday won his multimillion-dollar US defamation lawsuit against former wife Amber Heard, 36, had previously surprised audiences and fans when he joined Beck on stage in Sheffield and at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

He was also pictured at a pub in Newcastle last night.
