Johnny Depp's £1m gift for Great Ormond Street, the hospital that saved his daughter's life

Johnny Depp secretly visited Great Ormond Street Hospital yesterday to donate £1 million of his own money to thank staff for saving his daughter's life.

He arrived unexpectedly at the London children's hospital where eight-year-old Lily-Rose was treated last year when her kidneys failed.

Last week he invited five Great Ormond Street doctors and nurses to the party for the London premiere of his film Sweeney Todd.

And on November 29, unknown to the public, Depp spent four hours at the hospital telling bedtime stories to patients dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow after having his Pirates Of The Caribbean costume flown over from Los Angeles.

In March last year, Lily-Rose spent nine days at Great Ormond Street after E.coli poisoning led to the failure of her kidneys.

I hear whenever Johnny Depp walks into a room you can hear the faint sound of angels smiling.

Fuckin'-a cool of the guy and it's a blast seeing him grown up a bit from his rebel without a cause/rockstar days.

Da kid has gots heart! Hearts, I tells ya!

[Derek237]

Hmm I just feel sorry for whoever else may have been volunteering their time there, like just some average dude who takes time out of his day to try to do something nice out of the kindness of his heart.

"Yeah, Bill, listen...we won't be needing you at the hospital tonight....Johnny Depp is coming by..."


Drag.

[RustyRazor]

Good on him.
Cool and down to earth, seems like a really nice guy.
A rarity in this day and age.

[Shockwave]

Maybe next time he can show up as Sweeney Todd?:D Thatll cheer them right up!

[The Postmaster General]

^^^HAHA! Yeah, good thing he's not giving haircuts to sick kids. We all know the stories about how Depp will stay in character for months. :D

[echo_bravo]

I got to book Johnny Depp for my birthday party. :D

But seriously this guy is so fucking awesome. I would of loved to be a fly on the wall during that book reading.

[Cronos]

I bet that was FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! I would've paid to have seen that.

This is just more evidence why the man is one of the coolest men on the planet, if not THE.

[X-Nightcrawler]

It's even cooler that he did it as Jack Sparrow.

*girlish shriek*

[IronMonkey]

Screw Chuck Norris..Depp is one awesome motherfucker!

[Tagia_Romero]

He's like a kickass version of the Energizer Bunny. :)

Bless him.

[darkface]

That's awesome to hear! Good for him.

Now next time, he needs to wear his Edward Scissor hands outfit. The kids will love it! ;)

[viking]

Every kid in the hospital would have perked up when Captain Jack walked in.

So Cool.

[Gregorious8]

He's a class act.

[edonline]

That's awesome to hear! Good for him.

Now next time, he needs to wear his Edward Scissor hands outfit. The kids will love it! ;)

Except the kids going into surgery! :)

[pg13myass]

It just goes to show he isn't your typical Hollywood 'star' prouncing around with drug\alcohol and mommy and daddy issues. He's a real-deal down to earth human being who isn't tainted by the corruption that fame brings. As much as the press has been giving him a hard time and reputation, he's been nothing but a stand up guy who is doing his own thing and not caring what other people say or think of him. There is definitely a great reason why he remains around and popular.

[EBastard]

It's official: When I have kids, I want them to be raised by Johnny Depp. PERIOD.:cool:



SHIVER ME TIMBERS...

THE BASTARD RETURNS.

[Shinigami]

What an asshole. Those kids are trying to sleep.

[zombievictim]

Wow. That guy just keeps getting cooler and cooler as the years go by.

[Mr.HyDe807]

What an asshole. Those kids are trying to sleep.

Im sorry, but this cracked me up!


Seriously though, good for Depp, he's an awesome dude!

[john_rambo]

Does this guy do any wrong?

[Djinon]

Who was the guy who spent a day getting a homeless guy a wardrobe followed by paying a year's worth of rent in advance for an apartment? I keep thinking it was Depp.

That's was Colin Farrell, he did that while attending the Toronto Film Festival.
