Johnny Depp in '2am bodyguard row' as he flirts with mystery blonde

Los Angeles - Johnny Depp reportedly had a furious row with one of his own bodyguards in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The 52-year-old actor - who has been accused of assaulting estranged wife Amber Heard - was in a "party mood" after his band the Hollywood Vampires' show in Denmark and ignored his minder's plea to go back inside the Royal Hotel's bar at around 02:30, preferring "drinking and smoking a lot" with a mystery blonde woman.

One onlooker told the Mail Online: "Johnny was in a party mood that's for sure.

"His bodyguard had his hand on his shoulder and was trying to get him to go back inside, but Johnny refused to go."

Fans kept approaching the Black Mass star for pictures, and he was happy to oblige with them all, much to the annoyance of his bodyguard.

The source added: "The bodyguard got more and more persistent but Johnny didn't want to go. He was in a mood to celebrate for sure.

"And he definitely drank his fair share of alcohol."

Pictures of the alleged row show the actor looking furiously at his minder as he tried to lead him away, while a brunette woman appeared to be trying to support the Mortdecai star.

The onlooker added: "Johnny was the last one to leave the bar, even after everyone had finished the champagne and gone home it was Johnny that went back to the bar. 

"To look at him last night, with his clothes from the show and the mascara and everything, he looked like he was Jack Sparrow one more time."

Johnny reportedly spent around two hours talking "animatedly" with the mystery blonde, who he seemed to know well.

An onlooker said: "They smoked a lot and drank a lot.

"Johnny was sitting at a table behind me at the time, before they went outside together. They were outside together for about two hours and looked very animated when they were talking.

"It looked like she was really leading the conversation, while he was listening to her. And she was smoking a lot the whole time and drinking from the bottle of bubbly.

"It's clear they already knew each other.

"I stood by her when she was at the bar and she asked a woman for a light, and she was bought a white wine by an older man at the bar."

Amber filed for divorce last week after 15 months of marriage and subsequently claimed the actor had assaulted her during a row.
