Johnny’s got a Depp interest in Morgana
He’s hooked on shows by Brit comedian
JOHNNY Depp is laughing away his courtroom woes by chuckling over Brit funny girl Morgana Robinson.
The Fantastic Beasts star is locked in a legal battle in the UK that has sparked lurid headlines over his relationship with his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard.
But while here for the case at London’s High Court, Depp, 57, is said to have got hooked on the impressionist’s routines.
Morgana, 38, played Pippa Middleton in royal parody The Windsors and also had her own show on Channel 4.
Her BBC2 mockumentary, Morgana Robinson’s The Agency, is a hit on iPlayer.
A source said: “Johnny has been very focused on the trial, getting early nights and hanging out in his hotel suite.
INTENSE
“But it’s been an intense case and he’s been enjoying British TV, in particular comedies. He really loves Morgana.
“He finds her impressions hilarious – he’d love to meet her when the trial’s over.”
Depp is suing News Group Newspapers, publishers of The Sun, over a 2018 article that called him a “wife beater”.
He has been in a £2,000-a-night London hotel suite, dining alone – and watching British sitcoms to pass the time.
Last week, his personal life was laid bare as he was accused of 14 separate domestic-violence incidents against Heard, 34, which he strenuously denies.
He says the allegations are a hoax by Heard, built up over years as an “insurance policy”. Graphic

Sources say Depp, who took the stand for four days this week, has been ordering room service which he eats alone while watching TV and is in bed by 11pm.
NGN is standing by its article, which it says is true. The case continues.
