Kind-hearted Hollywood actor JOHNNY DEPP has vowed to help a British girl who is fighting for her life after spending five months in a coma. The parents of 17-year-old Sophie Wilkinson from Southampton, England, who was critically injured in a car crash last year (07), wrote to the Pirates of the Caribbean star as he is their daughter's favourite actor - and Depp was so moved by their plight he resolved to help. Depp has agreed to record a voice message for the teenager which will be played to her in the hope it will help bring her out of the life-threatening coma. He also agreed to try to visit the stricken teen at Southampton General Hospital. And Sophie's father Andrew was delighted the star offered to give up his time to help. He says, "We are looking for the key to wake her up, so we wrote to Johnny and he said he would do the recording in the voice of (his Pirates of the Caribbean character) Jack Sparrow. "Only this week Sophie moved her right leg, which she has never done before. When we got home my wife and I were jumping for joy!"


Let's hope this will help the little girl.

bye Julie (newbie :) )

HI Julie!! :welcome to JDR! We are so happy to have your here and we are thrilled that you feel comfortable enough to want to share news with us.

I am moving this item to "time will tell" ...you see most anything from the site ContactMusic is often questionable and often turns out to be not quite accurate. ;)

We are happy you're here! :)

Something like this brings my heart to melt. This is so sweet of him. :angel I definitely think this is true. :)

This item has been floating around the net for a while now...

I kinda think I've heard something similar before...did Johnny ever do something like it? Or was it just the same news that had been around for a while?

Anyway, thanks for posting, Julie and welcome to JDR! :)

I heard this news on TV. I hope she wakes up. :thumbsup

There was an article in our local paper last week about the family and my mum saved it for me to scan.

I only scanned the bit about Johnny as the rest is a little grizzly about the accident.

Thanks for the scan Anne---I read an article a couple of days ago reporting that the girl has moved and started coming around a bit---I didn't post it as I know we're not sure if it's really true. If it is, bless Johnny and the young girl. :)
