BELGRADE, Serbia — Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Depp was honored Wednesday

with a life-size statue in Serbia.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star had a statue in his image unveiled by renowned Serbian director Emir Kusturica during an annual film festival — called Kustendorf — held in a mountain village in southwestern Serbia.

Depp met with Serbian President Boris Tadic upon his arrival Tuesday. He was then flown by helicopter to the mountaintop village constructed by Kusturica for one of his movies.

Kusturica, a two-time Cannes Film Festival winner, said he plans to make a movie with Depp playing legendary Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa.
