A FILM location manager suing Johnny Depp for allegedly punching him says he is looking forward to his day in court.
Gregg “Rocky” Brooks is taking action against Depp, 58, over the incident he claims took place on a movie set in 2017.

The 61-year-old filed a lawsuit in LA in July 2018 accusing the actor of “inflicting emotional distress” after punching him twice in the ribs.
After Depp’s defamation case win last week against ex-wife Amber Heard, 36, Brooks’ lawyer Pat Harris told The Sun on Sunday: “This case is not about two Hollywood celebrities involved in a toxic relationship.
“It is about the assault of a hard-working film crew member by the production’s star.”
Brooks claims Depp reacted violently when told there was one chance to shoot a scene while filming City Of Lies.
He says Depp screamed: “Who the f*** are you? You have no right to tell me what to do.”
Depp’s lawyers say Brooks was hurt due to “self-defence”.
Musician Sam Fender, 28, apologised for posting a snap with Depp in with the caption “Serious heroes” after the Heard case verdict.
