A Johnny Depp fan has paid £45,000 to appear with the actor in his new movie Public Enemies.

The unnamed bidder won an auction for a non-speaking role in the film, which revolves around the FBI's attempts to catch bank robber John Dillinger (Depp).

The fan will spend a day on set in the Chicago area later this month.

Cash from the charitybuzz.com auction will be donated to the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial, a human rights organisation.

Charitybuzz.com CEO Coppy Holzman said: "We are thrilled to have been able to raise so much money for Robert's wife Ethel Kennedy and The RFK Memorial."

The auction, which runs until May 14, also includes a tour of the Desperate Housewives set and the chance to meet Will Smith at the premiere of his new film Hancock.
