Why Manila is close to Johnny Depp's heart

During an interview for his upcoming comedy-action film Mortdecai, Hollywood actor Johnny Depp revealed he has spent some time in Manila almost 30 years ago when they were shooting for the film Platoon in 1986.

"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," he said. He described the experience like being in a Hemingway book. "Oh, Manila was beautiful, I love Manila. That was a great, great time. It felt like you were in a Hemingway book."

On other news, Depp is joined by Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan Macgregor and Paul Bettany in the new movie. "This is the best time I've ever had on any film ever," Depp said, who is also the movie's producer.
