Johnny Depp saves extras from getting hit by a car


Johnny Depp was filming 1930s gangster film "Public Enemies" in Wisconsin when his quick reactions possibly saved a group of extras from getting hit by a car. This story is likely exaggerated for effect, but I know Johnny Depp is capable of superhuman feats of heroism and I chose to believe it:

On location for his new flick in freezing Columbus, Wisconsin, Depp - standing by a country road ready to play a getaway scene as notorious Depression bank robber John Dillinger - went into action lightning-fast when a 1933 Ford came speeding toward the set, hit a patch of ice and slid out of control aimed straight at half a dozen extras who had their backs turned! Instantly, Depp screamed: "Get out of the way" and literally slammed into the group with arms outspread, shoving them all back just as the car slammed into the cub a few feet away.

The article says that Depp was pissed and yelled at the driver for speeding on an icy road, and told him he'd have him fired if he did something like that again. Johnny Depp mad after saving people's lives is almost as sexy as Johnny Depp silent and smoldering.

Depp has directed the latest music video from his longterm girlfriend and the mother of his two children, French singer Vanessa Paradis. He appears as a shadowy figure throughout this video, and the video makes it seem as if she's performing just for him. You never quite see his face, but the song is lovely and the video is well done so it's worth seeing. Thanks to Lainey Gossip for linking this.





In related Johnny Depp news, there's also the smirk-inducing story that Trojan condoms has offered him $10 million to front an ad campaign for them in the US. That story originated in the Daily Star and I doubt it is even remotely true. The title for the article claims it's �38 million, but the actual article says he's been offered $10 million USD. Whichever number they claim, it's probably made up like the "extra saving" story, but I want to believe that one.

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are shown at the Oscars this year.
