Johnny Depp Sends A Fan A Fedora

By Access HollywoodJune 18, 2008, 4:52 pm PDT

OSHKOSH, Wisc. -- Despite a career that's included roles as a pirate, a murderous barber and candy-making trickster Willie Wonka, the real-life Johnny Depp is apparently a trustworthy fellow.

Twelve-year-old Jack Taylor discovered this after an April meeting with Depp, who was shooting his new film "Public Enemies" on location in Oshkosh, Wisc.

In the '30s crime drama. Depp plays John Dillinger, a notorious Depression-era bank robber with a wardrobe to match.

Fascinated by the actor's fedora, Taylor asked him to send it to him after the film wrapped, and sure enough, it arrived last week, according to the Oshkosh newspaper, The Northwestern.

But that wasn't the end of the sweet meeting - the actor's agent sent Taylor's four siblings promotional items from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." In return, Taylor told The Northwestern he has enlisted his parents to help him work on a thank you note.

    Hi! to all of those who like the great John Depp. I really enjoy his movies and interviews, he's so humble and so talented. I wish I could ever get the chance to be his friend and say . " Hey Johnny boy, let's talk a cold beer man. Have bunches of interesting things to say." That would be nice and he would enjoy it. That may sound as I was a man...but believe m

    I am almost 32 years old and I have been a fan since the 3rd grade when I saw the first Nightmare on Elm Street and I have loved everything he has done since then. To hear that he is still so nice to all his fans after all these years is amazing!

    I've always loved Johnny Depp in all his movies...didn't matter what the critics would write about him or his movies. I fell in love with his persona also because of his down-to-earth personality. To add to my love for him, I have a son who could double for him...physically, spiritually, and intelligently (if there's such a word). You rock, Johnny!!
