Nicolas Cage Not Getting Helping Hand From Johnny Depp
Posted by Adam
JOHNNY Depp won’t be lending a helping hand to his financially-troubled pal Nicolas Cage — despite recent claims to the contrary.
It had been reported that the Pirates of The Caribbean actor was shocked to hear Cage is on the brink of financial ruin and and has pledged to support the Con Air star through his difficulties.
“Johnny called Nicolas and basically told him not to worry and he’d help him and sort everything out,” a source told UK newspaper the Daily Express.
“Johnny feels he owes his career to Nicolas and now wants to repay him — if Nicolas agrees.
“Johnny has never forgotten what Nic did for him.”
But Cage’s rep says the report is “not true.”
Nicolas met Johnny over 20 years ago when the Sleepy Hollow star was a struggling musician.
The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans actor linked Johnny up with his agent, a move which eventually secured him his breakthrough role in A Nightmare On Elm Street.
Nicolas — whose films have grossed over $5 billion — is facing financial ruin after getting landed with his staggering tax bill.
He owes $6 million in back taxes from 2007 and is suing his former manger for bad financial advice.
