"Johnny Depp has turned down an offer worth \u00C2\u00A35 million in favour of playing a gig with his favourite band, Babybird, according to sources. The Sweeney Todd actor rejected the lucrative opportunity to star in a Japanese soft drink commercial, reports the Metro. Instead, the 47-year-old will perform with Sheffield band Babybird, whose hits include &amp;#039;You&amp;#039;re Gorgeous&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Candy Girl&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;Johnny is desperate to play with them,&amp;quot; an insider said. &amp;quot;When you\u00E2\u20AC\u2122re earning the amount he does, more money isn\u00E2\u20AC\u2122t important. It\u00E2\u20AC\u2122s doing what you love that counts, and he\u00E2\u20AC\u2122s not missing out on this opportunity.&amp;quot; Depp previously appeared on the band&amp;#039;s last single, &amp;#039;Unloveable&amp;#039;, and directed its music video.
