This story’s probably not true considering it comes from the UK Daily Express via the National Enquirer, but it would be cool if it was, and it would be another reason to swoon over Johnny Depp. You may have heard that Nicolas Cage is financially up the creek without a paddle? He’s blaming it on a dodgy financial adviser who gave him bad financial advice (although said financial adviser has never had a complaint made against him in like eva!) and now he’s been forced to sell off all his castles and fortresses, but so far gets to keep his luxury cars and dinosaur skulls.

Enter Johnny Depp who’s offered “whatever he needs”. Johnny supposedly feels indebted to Nic for kickstarting his career way back when Nic helped him score his big break with A Nightmare on Elm St and has offered to bail him out. It’s totally a Johnny move. He is That Guy. You’ll recall he gave up his Imaginarium earnings for Matilda…Love him so much.

Still…how embarrassing for Nic Cage. That Johnny Depp has to come pull up his broke ass. That in the end Johnny looks like a hero and he looks like a poor chump. Can’t be good for the ego. A source has said, “Johnny called Nic and basically told him not to worry and he’d help him and sort everything out. Johnny feels he owes his career to Nic and now wants to repay him – if Nic agrees. Johnny has never forgotten what Nic did for him.”
