MUMBAI: Here‘s some bad news for scores of fans of Johnny Depp.
The 49-year-old actor has injured his back while shooting for The Lone Ranger.
The actor was left writhing in pain on two occasions during action scenes for the Western film in which he plays Native American Tonto opposite Armie Hammer, who plays the title character. The actor has now realised that he can‘t do many of his own stunts and needs to rely more on a double.
Besides the back pain, the actor has also been struggling with insomnia on the sets.

Butth e director Gore Verbinski and the crew have been sympathetic to the sleep problems the Hollywood star has been experiencing and have adjusted shooting schedules for him.
Said a source in a quoted text, "Johnny is also struggling with sleep problems so the crew has had to adjust to the face that he can‘t shoot all night. He needs at least six hours of shut eye. This movie has really kicked his butt. He‘s so happy it‘s wrapping up and has joked that his body wouldn‘t be able to take another month of it."
