Johnny to the rescue! The Pirates of the Caribbean actor has reportedly vowed to help Nicolas Cage with his financial mess. Sources say Johnny was upset by the news that his friend was struggling with a $6 million tax bill and has said he'll help the Con Air actor as repayment for helping Johnny when he was first trying to make it big in Hollywood.

A friend of the pair told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: “Johnny called Nicolas and basically told him not to worry and he’d help him and sort everything out. Johnny feels he owes his career to Nicolas and now wants to repay him -- if Nicolas agrees. Johnny has never forgotten what Nic did for him.”

Nicolas met Johnny over 20 years ago when the Sleepy Hollow star was a struggling musician.
The actor linked Johnny up with his agent, a move which eventually secured him his breakthrough role in A Nightmare On Elm Street.

The Hollywood pair first met in the '80s when Johnny was a struggling musician. Film star Nicolas saw Johnny’s star potential and sent him to his agent, who got him a role in the horror flick.

Nicolas, whose films have grossed $6.5 billion, is facing financial ruin after getting landed with his staggering tax bill. He owes $6 million in back taxes from 2007 and is suing his former manger for bad financial advice.
