The actor might just stand in court to testify for a homicide case.
TMZ reports that Johnny Depp has been served with legal documents during the premiere of his film, "Transcendence," on Thursday. According to the report, Nancy Lekon's lawyer has decided to call on to the actor to prove that his client is indeed insane.
Nancy Lekon was reportedly driving a limo back in 2009 says TMZ. She "allegedly mowed down a pedestrian, dragging her for a mile and killing her," the outlet reports. The incident reportedly happened in LA's Skid Row neighborhood.
The 50-year old actor's role in the Nancy Lekon murder trial scheduled later this month is to allegedly prove that Lekon was insane when the incident occurred roughly 5 years ago. "Lekon told officers at the time of her arrest she was in a relationship with Johnny Depp and was in the area so they could rendezvous," TMZ says in the report.
According to the Daily Mail, Lekon mowed down the 25-year old victim, Sonia Taunauu aka China, after the two reportedly argued about narcotics. Taunauu died on the scene while Lekon reportedly collapsed o the roads, adds the Daily Mail.
Johnny Depp has not issued any comment regarding the legal documents, nor his alleged relationship with Nancy Lekon. The actor has previously admitted that he is now an engaged man, wearing a "chick's ring" in an interview with the "Today Show."
The actor also denied Amber Heard's pregnancy rumors when anchor Savannah Guthrie opened up about the speculation but Depp primarily guested on the show to promote his movie, "Transcendence."
The upcoming movie, due out April 17, tells the story of Dr. Will Caster, a terminally ill scientist who uploads his mind to a computer, granting him power beyond his wildest dreams, and soon rendering him unstoppable.
