Lot: 46

'He's inspired me like he has so many. He's fascinated me like he has so many. He's been a wonderful inspiration not only to actors and film makers and he's a very special individual. Over the years I've had the pleasure of working with this greatest of actors and it's been wonderful and it's certainly been a childhood dream come true, having been a fan for so long. But as great as it's been to work with Christopher and learn from Christopher, it pales into comparison to the honour of getting to know the man himself and to be able to count him as a dear, dear friend and someone that I care about greatly. He's a true gentleman, he is a national treasure and moreover he is a genuine artist. I love you.'

From Johnny Depp's speech at the British Film Institute awards in 2013, on which occasion he presented Sir Christopher with the prestigious Fellowship Award.


'Johnny Depp, as far as 'I'm concerned, is number one. Of his generation, there's no one who can touch him.'
