Johnny Depp was in Serbia Wednesday to witness the unveiling of a life-sized statue of himself.
Depp joined Serbian director Emir Kusturica at the Kustendorf International Film and Music Festival in a small mountain village in southwest Serbia.
Kusturica, who won the Palme d'Or at Cannes twice for his films When Father Was Away on Business and Underground, founded the festival in Mokra Gora three years ago.
Depp, star of Chocolat and Pirates of the Caribbean, met with Serbian President Boris Tadic before flying into the mountain village.
Depp said he admires filmmakers such as Tim Burton and Kusturica who create truly original work.
The Hollywood heartthrob is set to star in the Serbian director's film about legendary Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa.
Kusturica said Depp will stay three days in the region. "He will lead several workshops for participants of the festival, drink wine, watch films and visit some locations where he will shoot a film about Pancho Villa," Kusturica said.
