Johnny Depp is intensely personal, so it's always a special treat when we get to hear him open up. He recently chatted with EW and melted our hearts talking about the scare back in March when his daughter Lily-Rose got very sick after an accident at their farm. Here's more:

"To say it was the darkest moment, that's nothing. It doesn't come close to describing it. Words are so small. But knowing that those people, Tim and the crew, shut down and stood by and waited ... I didn't know if I was coming back. I remember talking with Tim, saying, `Maybe you need to recast.' 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. Once we were given the all-clear, I had to dive back into the work. I had to get back in there for Tim."
We couldn't be happier for Johnny that Lily-Rose pulled through and made a full recovery, and we're selfishly glad that he was able to finish his work on Sweeney Todd. You can't really go wrong with Johnny and Tim working together.

2I'm glad his daughter is okay, and I'm also excited to see Sweeny Todd.

4Thank god little Lily was ok - I don't think there could be anything worse than losing a child, and i'm not even a mum yet.
5oh johnny. even though i'm sure words couldn't describe how he felt, he put it beautifully. he's such an amazing actor and clearly a wonderful father
6Aww Johnny sounds like an amazing dad.

10Johnny and Vanessa come accross as truly loving and devoting parents.
11that brought a tear to my eye. i love johnny and his family.
12Does anyone know what exactly happened to his daughter???
13I am glad she is ok now. He seems like such a great father!
14I think she had an infection in her blood, but I'm not sure. Johnny is perfect. Vanessa Paradis is a lucky woman.
15It just seems odd with them saying "an accident at the farm"... Sounds like a tractor injury or something! Eeesh!
16He is the most beautiful man ever.
17Ummm I just creamed my panties over him...wow...so sexy...
18What a great father! And a hot man! He is in my heart forever!
19I could feel his fear from his word!! I am glad it all ended well!

23Oh, he is such a WONDERFUL father! All those crazy bracelets he wears are things his children made for him. You can just see the love. He loves talking about his children and how he plays dolls with his daughter. FABULOUS!!!

I
him. He is such a great dad to his kids & partner to Vanessa. And I
CONNOT WAIT for Sweeny Todd!!!
26sasha's right, she stepped on a nail and got blood poisoning. I'm so glad she's okay.
27Does anyone know what kind of accident made her so sick?
It is so beautiful to hear him talk about his family that way. You can tell he really has his priorities straight, and that he has a lot of integrity (both in work and family). Ah, Johnny. You hot hot man.
28He's such a loving dad! Awwww!
29Awwwww that was so sweet!
30He seems like a caring father!
He is now even more droolworthy...nothing like a gorgeous man gushing about his daughter and her well-being. Awwww.

33♥
34I just love him!!!
35LOVE him
36Iam so glad that she is doing fine.Everybody was praying for her and family.He such excellent father.
37There was no accident on any farm; that was made up by the press, because when they don't have enough facts to make a story, they make up their own 'facts'. She had e-coli posioning.
Thank god she's pulled through. I just hope Johnny and Vanessa have recovered from their ordeal, too.
38And also, about press making up stories...? Same deal with the stepping on a nail business; That never happened, either.
In fact, the press implied that she injured her foot, and that Johnny and Vanessa didn't treat it, thus causing her to come down with blood poisoning. This implies bad parenting, and neglect, and it would make me so happy if Johnny and Vanessa sued for libel.
Johnny and Vanessa got some really nasty comments about their parenting skills because of that story, and I can't think of two people who deserve comments like that less.
OK, rant over. Sorry to go on, I just... I love them.
39There is nothing like the fear of losing your child and being powerless to stop it. Then, when it all turns around, it takes you a while to decompress from the trauma. After that you are left with that exact feeling- you evaluate every moment. Your child does something fantastic (or average, for that matter) and it occurs to you that it almost never happened. It's mind boggling.
