Johnny Depp Opens Up About Why He Visits Children's Hospitals

November 29, 2015

The 52-year-old actor made headlines earlier this year for visiting children's hospitals dressed as Jack Sparrow. In a recent interview on The Graham Show, he opened up about why he does it.

"I've known darkness in my life, but that was the darkest period ever. I've always kind of done these visits, but after that the visits became more and more important because the kids, bless them, you know they're so strong, they're so courageous - but the parents are the ones who are slowly dying. And to be able to bring a smile or a giggle to these people is - it means everything in the world to me."
