Johnny Deep is back at work – and looking caliente doing it!

The serious actor is currently in Puerto Rico, on the set of his latest film, The Rum Diary, based on Hunter S. Thompson’s novel.

Johnny also starred in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, another movie based on a novel by Thompson.

Shooting for the The Rum Diary began last week with Bruce Robinson as the flick’s writer and director.

The flick is set in the 1950s-era and centers around a “journalist who leaves New York to work for a newspaper in San Juan,” Puerto Rico.

The movie also marks the debut film for Infinitum Nihil which just happens to be the production company run by Johnny and his sis.

And with the movie being filmed entirely in PR, we’re sure the tourist and locals will love having Depp around to stare at. We wouldn’t mind!
