There’s few things as sweet as getting a bonus after a job well done. A few extra grand at the end of a contract can make all the hours of hard work worthwhile. But what’s better than a few grand? How about a mint 1969 Corvette.

Actor and all round cool cat Johnny Depp received a surprise Corvette gift on the set of his upcoming movie The Rum Diary. In the film adaptation of a Hunter S. Thompson novel Depp drives a 1959 Corvette and was apparently quite taken with the classic. When production wrapped, the film’s director Bruce Robinson gave the ’59 Corvette to Depp as a “thank you” gift for all the actor’s hard work on the film.

Upon receiving the Corvette present Depp was pretty blown away by the gesture. Meaning it is possible to find a gift for someone who has everything.

The Rum Diary should be coming to NZ cinemas sometime next month. Upcoming movies for Depp include a remake of The Lone Ranger where after filming he may be gifted a horse. Keep up the good work.
