The actor Johnny Depp has reemerged and spoken out about the lifestyle he now leads.
Depp provided an interview to “Somerset Life Magazine” in the UK. He disclosed that he has been living a quiet life away from the paparazzi in the English countryside.
The Oscar-winning actor claims that living away from Hollywood has the greatest appeal because it allows him to go about daily activities like grocery shopping and walking around in peace and quiet without drawing attention to himself.
British people, according to the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, are nice and cool and would greet him without being overly aggressive.
The celebrity claimed he does not mind if fans approach him and ask him for an autograph, but he would rather they do so when he is not spending private time with his family. Depp is the father of two children, a boy and a girl.
Depp claimed that his newfound freedom from paparazzi and fans wanting to take pictures with him, which he does not mind but sometimes becomes too crowded, allows him to visit stores without being followed.
Depp claims that while his preference for a low-key, quiet lifestyle may surprise some, he considers himself to be shy, which makes his current living situation ideal for him.
According to reports, Depp bought the Somerset home in 2014; it is a mansion in the 19th century style with 12 bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
The actor explained why he purchased the home by stating that he appreciates neighborhoods with character and that all of his homes, no matter where they are located, hold special significance.
Depp claimed to love Britain because of its rich history and distinctive architecture.
Since the widely reported defamation case against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, in 2022, the actor has been out of the spotlight. The actor received $10.3 million in damages after the jury voted in his favor.
