Reasons Why Johnny Depp Loves Manila

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp revealed during an interview with ABS-CBN's Balitang Amerika that he really loved Manila. He recalled how beautiful Manila is.

30 years ago, Depp, 51, spent some months in the Philippines when he filmed the movie "Platoon" in 1986, he often visited the city of Manila during that time.

"I was there for about three-and-a-half months and lived in the jungle for two weeks, which is far less enticing than Manila. We'd coast down to Manila every weekend or every chance we got," Depp said.

He also noted that his experience in Manila made him felt like he was in a Hemingway book.

"Oh, Manila was beautiful, I love Manila. That was great, great time. It felt like you were in a Hemingway book," Depp added.

Depp is back in the big screen with the comedy action film "Mortdecai," along with Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan Macgregor, Paul Bettany, Olivia Munn and Jeff Goldblum.

This movie, which was directed by David Koepp, features the story of Charlie Mortdecai (Depp), a professional bon vivant and occasional art dealer who is about to experience financial breakdown.

To continue with his lavish lifestyle Mortdecai accepted a challenge of his college friend, Aliatair Mainland (Macgregor) to find a missing Goya painting. However, an American Heiress and a revolutionary want it too.

"Mortdecai" will hit the theaters in January 22.
