Johnny Depp stars as Richard, a college professor faced with a cancer diagnosis that leaves him with just six months to live in a new movie titled, The Professor.
Richard breaks the news to his loved ones, and also adopts a new outlook on life — one that affects his teaching methods.
“My name is Richard. I’m your professor. From here on out we’re going to do things very differently,” he says as he introduces himself to his class. “Oh, and if any of you sell marijuana, please visit me during office hours.”
Admitting the gravity of his diagnosis isn’t easy on Richard, who also struggles with his wife’s infidelity.
As his health deteriorates, Richard seeks to inspire his students telling them: “You’ve got one shot, grab it, snatch it up, make it yours.”
