Johnny Depp's big gift
Tuesday, 17 June 2008
Johnny Depp has followed through on his promise to a 12-year-old fan - by sending him the fedora he wore as bank robber John Dillinger in new film 'Public Enemies.'
The 45-year-old actor is loved by millions across the world and was recently named Britain's Best Actor in a poll of 3,000 people aged seven and over.
Jack Taylor asked for the actor's hat after meeting him on the set of the movie and an amused Depp agreed to pass it on "when I'm done with it".
And, after Taylor's parents reminded Depp of his promise in a letter to the movie star's production company, the young fan received a package in the post.
Johnny filled the box with various promotional items and the hat.
Taylor's parents, Kris and Matt Brand, were thrilled with Depp's gifts - because there were enough treats for Jack and his four siblings.
Kris Brand says, "It's not exactly the easiest thing to make all five kids happy, but they did a good job. It's finally nice to see a celebrity being nice and following through on his promises."
Depp also wrote Jack a short, personal note telling him to enjoy the hat.
The thrilled youngster tells TheNorthwestern.com, "It was pretty awesome when it came. I didn't think it actually would come."
