Johnny Depp, 59, was hit with new relationship rumours this week after he was pictured with a mystery redhead at Umbria Jazz Festival.

It has now been revealed to a US publication that the woman is his French teacher, helping him with his upcoming film Jeanne du Barry, putting romance rumours at bay.Johnny was spotted with a new woman in Italy as he continues to tour with friend Jeff Beck, playing their EP album.The Hollywood actor was seen arriving at Gardone Riviera on Monday for a performance with his guitarist pal.He was also seen arriving at the Umbria Jazz Festival over the weekend with a mystery redhead, leading fans to jump to the conclusion that Johnny was in a new relationship.However, rumours were shut down when a US outlet reported that the actor's relationship with the "mystery woman" was a strictly professional and platonic relationship.According to TMZ sources, the woman is helping Johnny with his French for his upcoming film Jeanne du Barry.The film tells the true story of a seamstress' daughter who went on to become the final mistress of King Louis XV in the 18th century.Johnny will be starring as Louis in the film, which is his first movie in three years.This follows a very public divorce from his ex-wife Amber Heard, which later led to a number of public high-profile court cases, most recently last month where the jury ruled in Johnny's favour.Though the result of the case proved they had both defamed each other, the cards fell considerably in the Pirates of the Caribbean actor's favour.He was awarded $10.35 million in damages from Amber, while she was awarded $2 million in damages from her former husband.Amber has very publicly admitted she could not afford to pay her ex-husband, with her lawyers.
