Nicolas Cage 2009: Johnny Depp to Pay Broke Actor's Debts for Him

By Anne Bauso

Sad, sweet tales happen in real life, too


It seems as if not even Hollywood is exempt from the fact that life has a tendency to come full circle. Nicolas Cage saw his finances crumble this year, leaving the actor currently facing a tax bill of over $5 million. While Cage is in the process of suing his former financial advisor for mismanaging his funds, it looks like his dire financial straits may be temporarily fixed, and by none other than fellow A-lister Johnny Depp.

In a true "that's what friends are for" move, the Public Enemies star has reportedly called his old friend to let him know that he will front "whatever he needs" to get him out of this crisis. Depp is generous in his financial and emotional support, possibly seeing the move as a way to pay Cage back for launching Depp's stellar career: It was Nic who arranged for Depp, then an unknown musician, to meet with his agent, which led him to A Nightmare on Elm Street.

That is why is been said "A friend in need is a friend indeed". Johnny did a right thing by remembering his old days. Hats off to you Mr. Depp.
