Pirates of the Caribbean actor Johnny Depp is horrified to hear that fellow actor Nicolas Cage has run into difficulties over a $6million tax bill and has pledged to support the Con Air star through his plight because of the assistance he gave Depp when he was first trying to make it in Hollywood.
A friend of the pair told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Johnny called Nicolas and basically told him not to worry and he'd help him and sort everything out."
"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," says the friend.
Cage met Depp over 20 years ago when the Sleepy Hollow star was a struggling musician.
Cage linked him up with his agent, a move which eventually secured him his breakthrough role in A Nightmare On Elm Street.
Cage 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.
