Johnny Depp made an unannounced visit to the Great Ormond Street Hospital yesterday to donate nearly $2 million (£1 million) to the London children's medical center that treated his daughter last year, the Daily Mail reported.

The actor's eight-year-old daughter Lily-Rose spent nine days in the hospital last March when she suffered from kidney failure.

A grateful Depp, who was just voted one of Us' sexiest dads, invited the doctors and nurses to the London premiere of Sweeney Todd last week and read stories to patients in November dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates Of The Caribbean, the UK paper reported.

Disney also reportedly pledged approximately $20 million (£10 million) to the hospital, which is raising funds for renovations.

wow that was very generous.

Johnny Depp is supposed to be the most gracious actor when it comes to his fans and to other people. I think that adds to his sexiness.

Now THAT is pretty cool

I love seeing celebs use their money for something good that helps others. Which is a breath of fresh air from seeing spoiled brats take "vacations" all around the world.
