He may be the man of many a woman’s dreams, but now superstar Johnny Depp is trying to wake one girl up.
In the voice of Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean, the actor has recorded a message for Sophie Wilkinson — a 17-year-old who is lying in a coma in Southampton General Hospital — UK paper Express reports.
“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 Jack Sparrow,” Sophie’s father, Andrew tells.
Sophie has been comatose for five months, following an accident in which a truck collided with the car she was travelling in. Determined to do everything they can to awaken their daughter, Sophie’s parents appealed to the actor to lend them his Captain Jack voice — Sophie’s favourite Johnny Depp character — for her to listen to.
Johnny was so moved by their letter, he also said he’d try to visit Sophie in hospital.
“After the accident, we were told she wouldn’t make it through the night, but she has fought on and we know she is still in there,” says Andrew.
“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.”
