Johnny Depp quits acting until daughter recovers
Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp has vowed to give up acting until his sick daughter has made a full recovery.
Depp, 43, had been working on a new movie version of Sweeney Todd before seven-year-old Lily-Rose became ill.
She was admitted to a London hospital two weeks ago but was released on 9 March and is being looked after by Depp and his wife Vanessa Paradis.
Staff at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, have been told that they will be laid off unless the actor returns by the weekend.
A film source told The Sun: ‘He does not want to come back until Lily-Rose gets the all clear. The plan is to re-employ everybody when she is better.’

Someone who knows his prioorities. I think that’s good of him and wish his family well. Who cares if he looses the movie? his daughter could have died. Dumb studios.
