Actor Johnny Deep recently sold off his NFTs from his art platform, Never Fear Truth, and donated all proceeds to aid charities in need. The platform announced that it had raised $800,000 in total donations and it was given to four organisations including Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, The Footprint Coalition, and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

The Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles has been associated with Depp’s ex-wife Heard.

During the estranged couple’s recent defamation trial, it was revealed that Heard had failed to donate her $7m divorce payout from Depp as she had pledged to do in 2016.

During the trial, Heard said she had been unable to keep those promises due to the costs of her ex-lawsuit husband’s against her.

Additionally, the Aquaman actress said that she used the terms “pledged” and “donated” interchangeably. Later, she independently linked making the donations to paying off a mortgage over time to purchase a home.

“I pledged the entirety to charity. When you say you buy a house, you don’t pay for the entire house at one time. You pay it over time,” she said at the time.

After the announcement of Depp’s NFT sale, fans praised The Pirates of the Caribbean actor for his never-ending kindness.

Alluding to the trial, one person wrote: “And this, ladies and gentlemen, is philanthropy. And the difference between an unfulfilled pledge, and a straight donation. I’m certain these organizations are very grateful.”

Another said, “Every time I think I couldn’t be prouder of that man, he proves me wrong. AMAZING.”
