Johnny Depp facing up to 10 years in prison

Johnny Depp hasn’t been watching too much Border Security recently, that’s for sure.

The ever-so-sexy actor found himself in trouble earlier this month when he was caught bringing his two Yorkshire Terriers into Australia on his private jet, without declaring them.

Johnny had been returning to Queensland to continue the filming of the new Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

The dogs had already been smuggled into the country and it was only when pictures of them at a groomers made the rounds on social media sites that the authorities were alerted.

It has just been announced that if the actor is brought to court he could face up to 10 years in prison or a fine of  €245,000 – don’t mess with Australian quarantine laws, ay?

Barnaby Joyce, the Australian Minister for Agriculture, defended their tough stance in an interview with ABC Australia:

“If we start letting movie stars – even though they’ve been the Sexiest Man Alive twice – come into our nation and break the laws, then why don’t we just break the laws for everybody?”

While Johnny hasn’t made a comment on the situation, it has been reported that his wife, actress Amber Heard, has flown the dogs back to California to avoid them being put down under Australian law.

Let’s hope he can pull a Jack Sparrow and slip out of this one!
