[Translated from the original German using Google Translate.]

Hollywood legend Johnny Depp supports "Suhler Wolves"

* US actor legend Johnny Depp, who among other things gained world fame with his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Disney films for "Curse of the Caribbean", supports Thuringia's prestige volleyball-club VfB Suhl LOTTO Thuringia.

* During his visit on the 55th Film Festival in Karlsbad Johnny Depp signed a jersey created for him in his suite at the Grandhotel Pupp and made himself available for photos.

* This unique jersey of the VfB Suhl LOTTO Thüringia will now be auctioned at the end of the year.

* The connection to @johnnydepp was made through @alexxbecker who has been living in Suhl for several years.

* "In October last year, I sat with Johnny at the Zurich Film Festival with a good glass of wine. We had not seen each other for a while and exchanged about God and the world.
"Of course, we also came up with the topic of Corona and I told him that I volunteer for my local volleyball team and support the club," says Becker.

"Of course, our Suhler Wolves don't have million budgets like the big ones in the league, in fact, we even have one of the lowest." But what we, together with our fans and the great sponsors, have done here, is already great. Takes a great team, lots of sweat and blood. And we definitely have that here in Suhl and have been able to annoy the big ones so much at one time or another. And since in his career Johnny often embodied the underdog, the outsider in his greatest roles - take for example Edward with the scissor hands or the quirky Jack Sparrow - he was already interested in our club at that time", Becker continued.

* Recently, Becker then met again with Johnny Depp in Karlsbad and gifted the actor as a gag a personalized jersey of the VfB Suhl. The star signed the jersey and asked to auction it in favour of the underdog team from Thuringia.

* The jersey, personally signed by Johnny Depp, will be auctioned in October.
