Johnny Depp Makes A Sick Woman Laugh

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - He might not want to be called a "product" but Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp is extremely proud of his work.

The 44-year-old actor was amazed when a stranger told him that his Captain Jack character made his sick wife laugh for the first time in years.

Depp was delighted to hear that he had such a huge impact on the sick woman. The woman was said to be suffering from a form of Alzheimer's disease.

"One time a guy told me that he brought his wife to see Pirates of the Caribbean. She had lost her motor skills. I forget what you call it. It's not autism. They made a movie about it, where you recede and your functions start to go," Depp narrates.

"Anyway, they're watching the film, and when Captain Jack Sparrow came on the screen, she started to laugh. This guy said he hadn't heard that laugh in years. And so he took her back to see the film repeatedly. For some reason, Captain Jack made her laugh every time. That's right up there," he says.

Depp starred in the three Pirates films.
