BalkanInsight.com reports that the Hollywood hero met with Serbian president Boris Tadic when he jetted into Belgrade, Serbia, from his Kentucky hometown. President Tadic introduced him to his two daughters, who presented Depp with a drawing they had created of him as Jack Sparrow in the pirate flick.
According to the Serbian newspaper, Depp was greeted by the country's hottest filmmaker, Emir Kusturica, upon his arrival.
"Depp will be my guest for three days," Emir Kusturica told the daily Blic . "He will lead several workshops for participants of the [third annual Kustendorf International Film and Music Festival], drink wine, watch films and visit some locations for an upcoming movie shoot."
And dad-of-two Depp was just in time to witness a life-size statue of himself, handcrafted by Serbian sculptor Dragan Nikolic Baja, unveiled in a mountain village, followed by fireworks.
The hunky actor was clearly amused by the remarkable monument, as he posed beside his chiseled spitting image in a photo on People.com .
Reminiscent of Depp's "21 Jump Street" days, the sculpture mirrored a younger Depp, with a preppy haircut and a button-down shirt paired with jeans.
The "Public Enemies" star will shoot a new movie, "Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman with Six Fingers," with Kusturica and alongside Salma Hayek and Serbian actor Miki Manojlovic in late 2011.
It's easy to see why the director chose Depp to star in the upcoming film. “He is a man with a secret. Hollywood mostly creates people who win people over with their attractive appearances and action, while Johnny Depp fascinates the audience with his personality and spirituality,” Kusturica told Blic .
