Johnny Depp leaves The Sage in Gateshead after his UK gig Backgrid

The most popular man in England is Johnny Depp.

There was a wall of fans trying to get a piece of the actor after his appearance with Jeff Beck.

Security is trying to keep the crowd at bay.

Johnny has been in the U.K. since Wednesday's verdict in his defamation case against his ex- wife, but this scene takes the cake, and for the first time, he stopped to engage with fans.

After signing autographs and taking selfies, he was whisked away by security, but he was heading to his hotel feeling like he just left an award show.

Johnny said it felt like the jury gave him his life back. The UK crowds could be a glimpse of what's to come for him.
