One mugger got the surprise of his life the other night in LA when an attempt to pilfer someone else's cash led to a run in with his favorite actor. Johnny Depp was in LA to record a guitar solo for British singer Stephen Jones. As they left the studio late at night, a man wielding a broken bottle approached Jones, but Depp wasn't going to have any of that under his watch.
Acting more like Batman than Captain Jack Sparrow, the Pirates of the Caribbean star stepped in between the two and told the mugger to back off. In a moment that could only happen in Hollywood, the mugger responded, "I ain't stealing from Captain Jack," and put the bottle down.
Maybe this is how we can cut down on crime in America. Hollywood stars can accompany people walking home late at night or patrol mall parking lots. Of course, only stars we like can participate to make it work, so Jesse James can't participate.
Then again, what would have happened if Nicolas Cage were confronted in the same way, and the robber didn't remember seeing the actor in any of his action films and instead was a fan of Leaving Las Vegas. "Hell, I ain't stealing from Ben Sanderson, but let's go have a drink or two or three together."
Johnny Depp is an awesome man and actor. He is my all time favorite, he inspires me and my family. I love the silly faces he is so formal when it come to acting and that is what also love about him. I would love to meet someday. We love you Johnny Depp
