Johnny Depp physically confronted a crew member who was working on his upcoming movie “LAbyrinth,” Page Six reports.

A Page Six source claimed Depp had been “smoking and drinking all day on set” when he was told that shooting on the scene he was directing needed to wrap up. (RELATED: Johnny Depp Apologizes For Assassination Joke About Trump)

“The producers kept asking for the time to be extended,” one source told the outlet. “Brad [Furman, the director] interjected, ‘Tell that to Johnny Depp!'”

“This is the last shot,” the source said the location manager told Depp. “He [Depp] was 6 inches away, yelling, ‘Who are you? You have no right!'”

“‘I’m just doing my job,'” the manager reportedly explained.

Depp then allegedly tried to hit him in the ribs and then told the crew member, ‘I’ll give you $100,000 to punch me right now'” before the actor was taken away.

But the location manager disputed the report and said there is no story “here.”

“Johnny Depp is a consummate professional, great collaborator and a supporter of other artists,” the manager explained in a statement. “He always treats the crew and people around him with the utmost respect. Movies can be stressful, and nonevents often become exaggerated. We all love stories — there isn’t one here.”
