Josh Brolin feels blessed to be friends with Johnny Depp

London (ANI): Hollywood star Josh Brolin respects his friendship with Johnny Depp because he thinks the 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' star is a self-made actor who is loaded with talent to give power house performances.

The W star and Depp almost fell out when both were up for a lead role on TV show 21 Jump Street in the mid 1980s - a part Depp eventually landed. But the two actors have remained friends and Brolin could not be happier for his pal's success.

"I have more respect for that guy than for most people out there because he... has done it his own way," the Daily Star quoted Brolin as telling Playboy magazine. "He's found whatever his niche is, and it's a big one. What a f**king talent, man. Every movie I watch him in, I just thank God he exists," he added.
