Johnny Depp Looking To Collect Poker Gambling Debt From Band

Johnny Depp is not only an "A" list celebrity and movie star, but he apparently is a pretty good card player also. He claims he won money gambling on the set of Pirates of The Caribbean and now wants to collect the debt.

Depp says he played poker with the Indie Band, We Were Scientists on the set of Pirates of The Caribbean. He claims to have beat the band out of $28,000 while playing.

The band has not exactly denied the accusation. "Depp is accusing us of owing him $28,000. But we heard Orlando Bloom was $800,000 in debt to Depp," said the singer of the band, Keith Murray.

Band members have given the excuse that they were starstruck, and that Depp used that to his advantage. That is according to reports on Mirror.co.uk. Depp has been called many things in his career, but poor poker player has never been one of them.

"It was amazing. He was infatuated that we're in a band. I guess he's always dreamed of being a rock star," said bassist Chris Cain. That comment was before the band saw his playing skills. They might not have been in such a jovial mood after he took them for the money.
