Depp to guest star in new sitcom

Johnny Depp is set to guest star in Ricky Gervais' new sitcom.

The 47-year-old actor – who was the butt of one of 'The Office' star's jibes at this year's Golden Globes, when he described Johnny's acting in 'The Tourist' as one-dimensional – is reportedly being lined up for a role in Gervais and sidekick Stephen Merchant's new BBC Two sitcom 'Life's Too Short'.
