Johnny Depp’s first NFT in support of charity

Depp has supported over a dozen charities for over a decade, including an annual £1m to London’s Great Ormond Street. His first NFT in support of charity, assembled by ViciNFT, represents a poem Johnny wrote for Winona Ryder and a photograph of Johnny playing one of his guitars in his special guitar room in his villa in France. Johnny started playing guitar at the age of fourteen and music is one of his passions. Johnny has signed the NFT with his unique signature. Consistent with all ViciNFT offerings, 25% of NFT auction revenues will go to one or more charities. Bidders may bid on the NFT on OpenSea using Ether (ETH).
