JOHNNY DEPP DONATES BIG BUCKS TO HOSPITAL

Johnny Depp has donated over $2 million to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The Sweeney Todd star gave the money to staff to thank them for saving his daughters life.

As you may recall, Johnny’s daughter Lily-Rose was treated at the hospital last March when her kidneys failed.

The kindness didn’t just stop at a mere donation — the kind-hearted hunk also invited five doctors and nurses from the hospital to the premiere of his new musical.

The Daily Mail adds that Depp has also made appearances in the children’s ward dressed as his most famous character, Captain Jack Sparrow.

We knew there was a reason why we loved this man! Aside from his insurmountable talent and killer good looks, of course!

    Johnny is a gem. He is truly grateful for what he’s been given and knows the value in giving back. We need more Johnny Depps in the world.

    Mike - Johnny didn’t just give money, he gave of himself. And that’s something you can’t write off.

    He dressed as Captain Jack for sick kids at the hospital? That is so sweet - I’m going to cry.

    No, wait, suddenly, I feel really really sick. Take me to Great Ormond Street Hospital!

    Cedars almost killed Dennis Quaid’s babies, so I wouldn’t expect him to get all thankful that they didn’t die and pass them big donations.
