Johnny Depp has his lines fed to him through an earpiece, it has been claimed.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor's former management company, The Management Group (TMG), accused the star of never learning his scripts, and alleged he has spent "years" paying sound engineers to feed him his dialogue on set instead, in court documents filed on Monday.

The documents, written by attorney Michael Kump on behalf of TMG's Joel and RobertMandel - who are countersuing the actor in response to his lawsuit against them for mismanaging his money - state: "Depp insisted that this sound engineer be kept on yearly retainer so that he no longer had to memorise his lines."
The new documents also allege the 53-year-old star may have "compulsive spending disorder" and suggested he needs "a mental examination".
