Two things are immediately apparent: Depp is terrific with children, and a genuinely generous man to boot – both facts that won't help anyone nursing a crush on him to get over it any quicker. This is a man who literally makes dreams come true.

Which other A-list films stars would do this sort of thing? Which of them actually respond to letters personally?

Thanks so much for posting. I HIM ~ I bought Public Enemies a few months ago and I am just psychotic over it ~ I cannot stop watching it, I must watch it every week (sometimes every night!) just so I can feel whole.

I also love him in Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus: "Nothing's permanent, not even death"

HD,

Why did I not know you were in England? For some reason I thought you were an American... just goes to show you what the internet lacks! Or, i'm just truly very clueless- which is possible.

a large part of london's fogs were actually SMOG and when open fires were banned (and smoke producing indoor ones) it disappeared! i lived in london 21 years and saw only ONE PEASOUPER...i had friends who remembered going to elementary school wearing gas masks the air was so thick! but though fog is indigenous to the isles, it is not all natural...where peat and coal are still used, even wood i guess, there is still more fog than other more "green" areas.

And YES Johnny Depp is quite a man.
Hard to find REAL men out there, but from what I've read about him he's one of the few left.

Oh also..
When I was turning 12 (1982) my older sister sent a letter to Tony Geary who played Luke from General Hospital...Luke & Laura..
She told him I was a huge fan and asked if he would come to my birthday party.
Well no Luke, but he sent a post card with his picture. I was so giddy to get that from him. She gave me the best present out of anyone that year. I still have the post card too lol.

Johnny Depp has never really been a favourite of mine (please don't throw tomatoes - I don't dislike him either ), but this is great.

Meta 4,

I was never really attracted to him before Public Enemies. I've always admired him as an actor. I think he incredibly becomes every role he does. It's so awesome that he has reached out to the public and helped. I really admire celebrities that are active in helping animals, humanity, and helping to spread awareness about what is going on in the world.
Now, since Public Enemies, oh yes, I am attracted to him!!! Also he was amazing in Imaginarium ~ I love his confidence. I could very easily say he is currently my favorite actor.
All of the actors in Public Enemies are really good.
Thanks again.

Also wondering how did your thread get hijacked to cemetaries ~
