Johnny Depp Shows Support For Director Roman Polanski

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp has had plenty of media attention in the past, because of his support for children’s charities and many other worthy causes. But the latest thing he’s showing support for, has been getting him a few mixed reviews.

According to popeater.com, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star has recently come forward in his support of director Roman Polanski, who was arrested in Zurich back in 2009 on charges relating to a statutory rape case against him in 1977.

The actor, who reportedly met Polanski while filming “The Ninth Gate” back in 1999, recently voiced his disapproval for the way Polanski’s case has been handled by the judicial system. When speaking on Polanksi’s arrest, Depp said “Why now?”

Depp then said that Polanksi is not a predator, and that he was a 75 or 76 year old man with two beautiful kids and a wife that he has been with for a very long time. The list of professionals in support of Roman includes Woody Allen and David Lynch.
