Depp Saves Lives On Set

[Emma]

Actor JOHNNY DEPP turned real-life action hero on the set of his latest crime drama PUBLIC ENEMIES, after saving a group of extras from being struck down by an out-of-control car.

Depp, 44, was shooting a scene as bank robber John Dillinger when a stuntdriver in a 1933 Ford car sped onto a patch of ice and skidded towards six extras, who were standing with their backs turned, oblivious to the danger.

But the Hollywood hunk spotted the potentially fatal incident and leaped into action.

An eyewitness tells British newspaper News Of The World, "Johnny slammed into the group with arms outspread, shoving them all back."

I not only respect his work as an actor, but I've always respected Johnny because he really is such a caring person. It doesn't surprise me at all that he would do something like that actually because he is that kind of person. Thanks for posting the article Emma :)

I've always heard he is one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, this goes to show not only is he nice but he would risk his life for others. He is a true hero.

Isn't that Tom Cruise's job? I seem to recall several 'damsel in distress' stories attributed to tommy.

Johnny is very cool - I respect him for living in France instead of Hollywood. His collaborative efforts with Tim Burton are brilliant. I wish they'd stop pairing him with Helena Bonham Carter but she's the director's SO.
