Actor Johnny Depp accidentally got smacked in the face by his own bodyguard.

The incident occurred when an overzealous autograph hunter got too close to the actor outside Ed Sullivan Theater, New York. The actor's bodyguard stepped in between, where Depp was on the receiving end of a slap.

`Johnny looked quite startled,` said a source.

Depp's fan complained of signing just two pictures.

"The guy had the nerve to complain, 'You usually sign a dozen pictures for me, but this time you only signed two'," added the source.
