EXCLUSIVE - Johnny Depp 'in 2am row' with bodyguards outside casino after swigging champagne at concert after-party in Denmark... and flirting with a mystery blonde

Johnny Depp apparently had a confrontation with one of his own bodyguards last night as he stayed out swigging champagne with a mystery blonde until 4am.

The star, 52, allegedly had a tense moment with a bodyguard who was trying to persuade him to go back inside the hotel bar at around 2.30am at the concert after-party in Denmark.

But Depp seemed more interested in 'drinking and smoking a lot' with the blonde woman, according to observers. 

'Johnny was in a party mood that's for sure,' said one observer.

'His bodyguard had his hand on his shoulder and was trying to get him to go back inside, but Johnny refused to go.' 

It comes as his estranged wife Amber Heard, 30, released shocking pictures that 'prove' he assaulted her during their 15-month marriage.  Depp denies the claims.

He was celebrating after after claims in the US that he will not be prosecuted for allegedly throwing an iPhone at estranged wife Amber Heard, which prompted her to file for divorce. 

The actress, 30, released shocking images of her bruised face after an alleged confrontation with Depp in December 2015.

The photographs show her with a black eye and bloody lip after at attack that made her 'truly fear for my life'. 

The furious legal battle is ongoing with Heard claiming that Depp has been physically abusive towards her during their 15-month marriage. Depp strenuously denies the allegations.

Heard was granted a temporary restraining order against Depp last week after accusing him of domestic abuse in a court filing.

A judge ruled that Depp must remain at least 100 yards away from Heard until their next hearing, which is scheduled for late June.

Heard was also granted the right to live in the family home, but failed in her bid for sole custody of one of the couple's dogs. 

A representative for Depp said in a statement on Thursday; 'Given the brevity of this marriage and the most recent and tragic loss of his mother, Johnny will not respond to any of the salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation and lies about his personal life.

'Hopefully the dissolution of this short marriage will be resolved quickly.'
