Having through a near-fatal health scare of his daughter, Johnny Depp now cherishes every moment he shares with his daughter.
Johnny Depp says every moment with his daughter is a "mini-celebration", following her near-fatal health scare. The actor said Lily-Rose, his eight-year-old daughter with long-term partner
Vanessa Paradis, has not suffered any lasting damage from the mystery illness which left her hospitalized for nine days earlier this year.
He said: "Now every single millisecond is a mini-celebration. Every time we get to breathe in and exhale is a huge victory. She pulled through beautifully, perfectly, with no lasting anything. To say it was the darkest moment, that's nothing. It doesn't come close to describing it. Words are so small."
Johnny also said Lily-Rose's hospitalization - reportedly due to her contracting the E.coli bacterial infection - affected his work on Tim Burton's film '
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street'.
Once he knew she was healthy, he threw himself back into the role of the murderous barber.
He told 'Entertainment Weekly' magazine: "Knowing that those people, Tim and the crew, shut down and stood by and waited when I didn't know if I was coming back. I remember talking with Tim, saying, 'Maybe you need to re-cast.' But once we were given the all-clear, I had to dive back into the work. I had to get back in there for Tim."
