During the virtual appearance with Juiced TV, Johnny Depp shared, “It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been there and I miss it and I wanted to say hello.” Depp opened up about his love and willingness to visit with kids who find themselves in prolonged hospital stays and shared that it truly hit home in 2007 when his daughter Lily Rose was admitted and treated at Great Osmond Street hospital in London for E-coli poisoning. “When my daughter was ill in Great Osmond Street, it was the darkest period of my life, I’d always done these visits but after that experience, the visits became more and more important,” he said according to the Graham Norton Show. “The kids [at the hospital] are so courageous but to be able to bring a smile or a giggle to the parents means everything in the world to me.”

Regarding his virtual visit Queensland Children’s Hospital, Johnny Depp said to Daily Mail, “It’s a wonderful facility. I’m with all of you and I send you all my love, all my irreverence, and ignorance because it’s fun to be irreverent and ignorant. Thank you for sticking with me through all these very strange years.” He added, “These three beautiful young people I’ve spoken with this evening and having heard from people who sent videos in, like little Ula, is one of the finest and most beautiful experience that I’ve ever experienced and that is because of all of your commitment to this project and to taking care of one another and to helping out when times are curious and confusing.”

Rumored: Johnny Depp “In Talks” to Play Joker in the New Batman Movie. Director and Producer Matt Reeves is currently working on The Batman, which is said to focus on the formative years of Bruce Wayne becoming Batman and hero of Gotham. Recently, rumors began spreading that Warner Bros and DC were “in talks” with actor Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean) to play the most iconic villain in superhero history, The Joker.

Kevin Smith shared the rumor stating, “There’s a big rumor going around that says they’ve been talking to Johnny Depp about possibly playing The Joker in Matt Reeves, The Batman movie. Now, this is the first anyone’s even heard about there being a possibility of a Joker in The Batman movie on the heals of the Joker which won Oscars and made over a billion dollars and [Joaquin Phoenix] just locked that part down. But it looks like, you know, now this is [an] Oscar bait part. Who the fk wouldn’t want to play The Joker? Heath Ledger won an Oscar, Joaquin Phoenix won an Oscar, and of all the actors out there that could possibly roll the dice on the joker, Johnny Depp? Actually kinda fking perfect.”

The rumor has NOT been confirmed by the film studios, but it does have fans wondering why Joaquin Phoenix is not being considered for the role. One possibility it the established timeline in Joker does not match up with the storyline in Matt Reeves’ version of The Batman, or that Reeves is looking to establish the character for multiple projects and simply wants to create his own casting choices for the roles.
