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.
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.
Disney, which made the Pirates Of The Caribbean films, will also today donate £10million to Great Ormond Street, which needs to raise £ 170million in five years to redevelop two thirds of the hospital site.

That is a terrific story. And I am particularly impressed with the fact that he intended this to be low-key and anonymous. That's a reflection of what's in his heart. Many other celebrities would have trumpeted it all through a publicist before going. Very noble of Depp.

it was said that before they met each other, she has enjoyed an interracial dating with a black young guy on http://multiraciallove.com , which caused all her fans' comments...may be need to check if it is real, and how it goes...
