Johnny Depp left a £750 tip after enjoying dinner in a US restaurant.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star was filming his latest movie 'Public Enemies' in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, when he left the staggering gratuity after dining with friends.
A source said: "Johnny had a big dinner with his friends at one of the local restaurants. When the bill came to $2,600, he decided to leave a $1,500 tip to show how much he had enjoyed himself."
Johnny - who was staying in a hotel in nearby town Appleton - stars as John Dillinger in the Michael Mann period drama about the US government's attempts to stop some of the most famous criminals in the Depression of 1933.
Not all celebrities are as generous as father-of-two Johnny when it comes to tipping waiting staff.
Last year, Madonna, Tobey Maguire, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rupert Everett were named in a book exposing lousy celebrity tippers by former New York waitress Katherine Taylor.
In 'Rules for Saying Goodbye', Katherine writes: "Gwyneth Paltrow came in. I wanted to tell her that I had been making a list and she was on it, but Gwyneth was not stingy, only stupid. I thought she probably couldn't calculate 15 per cent."
Johnny Depp yesterday made a secret visit to Great Ormond Street Hospital, where his daughter was treated, and donated £1million.
The Hollywood star’s eight-year-old Lily-Rose was rushed there last year when her kidneys failed following E.coli poisoning.
Depp’s surprise arrival at the London hospital comes after he invited five of its doctors and nurses to the London premiere of his latest film, winner of the Golden Globe for best musical, Sweeney Todd.
On November 29 he also spent four hours at the hospital reading stories to the children, dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Apparently, he had his costume flown over from America especially.
It was while Depp was filming Tim Burton’s adaptation of Sweeney Todd – for which he won best actor in a musical at the Golden Globes - in the UK last March that his daughter fell ill.
The family, including the actor’s long-term girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, 34, and son Jack John, 6, were staying in a rented mansion in Surrey, which is where Lily-Rose is thought to have contracted the E.coli bug.
At one point it was feared she might not live.
Depp, 43, later commented: “It was the most frightening thing we have ever been through. It was hell.
“But the magic is that she pulled through beautifully. Great Ormond Street was terrific, a great hospital.”
The donation will be much welcomed by the hospital, which needs £170million to re-develop parts of the site. Disney are said to be donating £10million.
Meanwhile US film director Burton has revealed he is finally thinking about tying the knot with actress girlfriend Helena Bonham Carter, who stars alongside Depp in Sweeney Todd.
The couple have been together for seven years and have two children together.
Johnny Depp’s 7-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, is on the mend after a 9-day stay at a British hospital where she was battling an undisclosed illness. She left the hospital with her family at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday.
“We are happy to report that their daughter is doing much better,” Depp’s rep tells Us. “The family greatly appreciates the continued support and respect of their privacy.”
According to the U.K. publication The Sun, Depp, 43, and his partner Vanessa Paradis, 34, had been holding vigil for their daughter since she checked into the hospital a week and a half ago in “serious condition.”
The Pirates of the Caribbean star -- who lives in France with Lily-Rose, Vanessa, and their four-year-old son Jack -- was due to start filming Sweeney Todd in England when his daughter fell ill.
A hospital source tells The Sun: “They are worried sick -- but Lily-Rose is getting the very best treatment available.”
“Johnny is deeply concerned about his daughter," a studio source added. "As soon as he heard that she is unwell he went to her bedside. He will do anything for his kids.”
To protect the family’s privacy, publications are being asked not to publish the nature of the illness or the location of the hospital.
