Actor Johnny Depp paid a secret visit to London’s Great Ormond Street Children’s hospital on Sunday, and donated $2 million of his own money to thank staff for saving his young daughter’s life. The 44 year-old star arrived unexpectedly at the hospital, where his eight-year-old daughter Lily-Rose was treated last year when her kidneys failed. Last week, the generous actor also invited five Great Ormond Street doctors and nurses to the party for the London premiere of his film Sweeney Todd. And in November, 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 LA. Depp, who was yesterday named best actor in a musical at the Golden Globes for his role in Sweeney Todd, later said of the scare: “It was the most frightening thing we have ever been through. It was hell. But the magic is that she pulled through beautifully. Great Ormond Street was terrific, a great hospital.”
