Johnny Depp Gets Emotional Talking About His Daughter's Illness - The Graham Norton Show

You know, obviously you go through a career creating characters, but to come up with something as quirky as Captain Jack, and, well, yes, yeah, but then to have him be so loved. And, you know, we've seen those pictures of you when you visit hospitals or you visit schools, and that must be just an amazing gift to be able to give those people. I mean, for me it's the gift, you know, they're giving me the gift, because to go into a place where, you know, I mean, I've spent time in Great Ormond Street, where I was the parent when my daughter was ill, and it was, I mean, I've known darkness in my life, but that was the darkest period ever, you know, was when I was doing Sweeney. And I'd 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 means everything in the world to me, you know. It's far more than me. Because, you know, a lot of girls would be after somebody like Channing Tatum.
