Johnny Depp has met with members of the Navajo Nation on the set of The Lone Ranger.
The actor - who was in costume for his role as Tonto in the upcoming film - was given gifts by Navajo president Ben Shelly and vice president Rex Lee Jim.
Depp was also given a traditional leather warrior pouch by Navajo Nation surgeon general Dr. Gayle Dine' Chacon, who admitted to being "star struck" during the meeting.
"He is a very charming man, very gracious and very concerned as well. He probably spent a good hour with us," she said.
"Everybody else left the set, but he was still there. He is so charming. You feel that you are the only one there – that he's just focusing on you."
The Lone Ranger began filming in New Mexico in February with a budget of $210 million.
