Johnny Depp Gives $2 Million to Hospital

Johnny Depp made an unannounced visit to the Great Ormond Street Hospital yesterday to donate nearly $2 million (£1 million) to the London children’s medical center that treated his daughter last year, the Daily Mail reported. Depp’s eight-year-old daughter Lily-Rose spent nine days in the hospital last March when she suffered from kidney failure.
A grateful Depp invited the doctors and nurses to the London premiere of Sweeney Todd last week, and read stories to patients in November dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates Of The Caribbean, the UK paper reported.
Disney also reportedly pledged approximately $20 million (£10 million) to the hospital, which is raising funds for renovations.
Too bad Dennis Quaid’s baby twins didn’t receive that kind of care in Los Angeles.

With all the screwed up celebrities there are today, it is really nice to see one who keeps his personal life personal. He is such a talented actor and all around nice person. What kid wouldn’t be over the moon from having Captain Jack show up and read them stories! I have more and more respect for him every time I read or see something with him in it.
What a good daddy!!
