Johnny Depp Is a Hero

Being a hero takes a lot of guts, and celebrities are considered heroes as well as police or fire men are in reality. Heroes are role models, such as celebrities, that risk their lives for others and care for them as well. One celebrity that shows this kind of behavior is Johnny Depp, a Holly Wood actor, and demonstrates this in various ways. Johnny Depp is considered a hero for the things he has done for others, being a respectful person, and loving and caring for others.

Johnny Depp is considered a hero because he saved 6 people’s lives. Johnny was making some scenes for a new movie that was coming up soon, and a stunt driver accidently sped up. There were 6 others that were turned around, facing another way, and [he]”slammed into the group… shoving them all back.” According to Holly Scoop, “an eyewitness tells British news, News of the World, that this had taken place.” This shows that he is a hero and cares for other people as well.

Another way he shows heroism is by caring for children especially if they are in a hospital. Children need love and someone to care for them, and Johnny shows that he cares for a 17-year-old that was in a coma for five months. According to Look to The Stars, “he was her favorite actor… and her parents hoped that the recorded message [Johnny gave her as a gift]

would help her wake up.” This was really touching to him and other celebrities as well, so they all helped and cooperated to help other children that were in a coma.

Johnny is a very respectful man due to his polite behavior with other people and professionals. In addition, this shows how he acts or is like, his personality, with other people around him including strangers. An example of this kind of behavior is when he compared a photo-shoot to being raped. According to hollyscoop.com, [he] “doesn’t like photo-shoots at all…it’s almost like being raped…” He also mentioned that [he was] “truly sorry for offending anyone in any way […] I am regretful […] please accept my heartfelt apology.” This concludes that he is respectful and cares about what he says to others.

In conclusion, Johnny is a celebrity that’s considered a hero due to his good personality. Apologizing in front of the interviewers, giving a gift to a girl that was in a coma, and saving 6 people’s life is being heroic. These are some of the things that Johnny has demonstrated to the world, and what a good hero looks like. He is a celebrity that is considered a hero due to all of these things and by being a sweet heart to every one including respecting him and others.
