In true Hollywood style, superstar Johnny Depp reached an antique shop unannounced by helicopter. When asked about his surprise visit, the actor said that he wanted to pick up a guitar along with few other items. 

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp took a helicopter ride to Hemswell Antiques Centres on Friday to do some shopping. He dropped into the store unannounced and left the staff shocked and surprised. Photos from the UK's Lincolnshire antique store have gone viral on social media.

Since the actor wanted to take a relaxed look at the shop's guitars without being noticed by the public, he kept his visit to Hemswell Cliff a secret. The visit had been arranged by the store and Pinewood Studios, which have a working relationship.

Owner of Europe's largest antique centre, Rob Miller, said that Depp bought desks, tables, paintings, and four guitars to furnish his new property in London. 

"He was purchasing items which came from an era that he would have liked to have lived in", Miller said. 

Miller further said he was sworn to secrecy about Depp's visit. "We had a phone call to say somebody was going to be landing in their helicopter, and I wasn't allowed to say to any of the staff who it was. It came through a contact that we have at Pinewood Studios, who we have been working with for about five years, and is a good friend of his," he said.

"He was purchasing items which were in an era that he said he would have liked to have lived in. He was an unbelievable guy to meet really, he was so natural." the owner of the store added. "It was just great because he was allowed the freedom of being able to walk around without being hounded. He was very natural, very down to earth. It was a great atmosphere."
