Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp and Guinness.

After returning from the Exumas I decided to check out which of the 300 + Cays Depp actually owns. So after a little research I chance across an article from July 2009 in Vanity Fair which talks about Depp and his island, etc. Worth a read. But to the point, on page 3 of the 5 page article the following is presented:

'Around Saint Patrick's Day, the Atlantic turns a bit... rough. I sensibly reach for the "the Patch" to calm my stomach, and Holmes gobbles Dramamine like Tic Tacs. Deuters simply tries his damnedest not to turn green. Depp and Wyatt, however, down can after can of Guinness as we ride the waves. "What would be fun," Depp reiterates during my bout of queasiness, "would be getting Guinness on tap for the island."

I'm sorry I liked Depp before and enjoyed the fact that he had a Cay in one of my favorite places in the World but after reading this he is my life long hero - God bless you Johnny!
