Johnny Depp given ’59 Corvette for work on The Rum Diary

Johnny Depp has long been one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood, and most people wouldn't argue if you said he's got it pretty good. It looks like that life just got a little bit better. As a thank you for the work he did on his upcoming movie The Rum Diary, Depp received a classic 1959 Corvette convertible, USA Today reports.

The beautiful ride was given to him by Graham King and was driven by Depp in the movie. While it might seem like a gaudy gift for such an accomplished actor, King said that it was well-earned on Depp's part. Still, the Pirates of the Caribbean star was shocked when he received the 'Vette.

"He worked so hard on the film and why not?" King told the publication. "He was pretty blown away by it."

Director Bruce Robinson told USA Today that he was extremely jealous of the gift, adding that he got to drive the car and was surprised by how powerful it was. Corvette fans can look for the vehicle when the movie comes out October 28.

The 1959 Corvette is one of the most classic versions of the iconic sports car, and it featured an especially powerful engine and its unique design set the tone for the following decades.
