The increasingly strange saga of Johnny Depp got even weirder last month when the actor disappeared from the set of Pirates of the Caribbean 5.
When Depp eventually returned to Australia to resume shooting, he had his two Yorkshire Terriers in tow. Unfortunately for Johnny (and the pups), it's illegal to bring foreign animals to Australia, and Depp's dogs were nearly put down.
Depp sent the dogs home on a private jet (Like we said, the man is more "eccentric" than ever these days.) and it seemed as though all was well.
Now, however, the Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that Australian authorities are planning to make an example of Depp and demonstrate to the world that even A-listers aren't exempt from the country's strict smuggling laws.
The paper says authorities have "confirmed that Depp could face up to 10 years in prison or a maximum of a $340,000 fine" for his illegal Yorkies.
Depp's crimes were reportedly a topic of discussion during a recent senate committee hearing in the Aussie capital of Canberra.
Yes, it might be amusing when Depp gets drunk at an awards show or claims to have fought a mythical beast, but when foreign governments start holding meetings to talk about locking your ass up, it might be time to tone things down a bit.
