Celebrity news has been filled with updates on Johnny Depp's defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, but it's not all about court drama. The 58-year-old actor has made headlines for a heartwarming reason - he recently visited a wildlife rescue centre in Kent, where he spent time with orphaned badger cubs. Accompanied by musician Jeff Beck and his wife Sandra, Depp was "blown away" by the centre's work, according to a Facebook post from Folly Wildlife Rescue.
