Johnny Depp prefers French home over Hollywood

“We have a great place in the South of France. It’s a little hamlet – only about 45 acres – and I don’t do anything.

I’ve not left the property for three months at a time. I literally just wake up,go out,check the garden and see the vegetables growing. It’s a pristine existence in terms of simplicity,” Depp said.

“There’s no talk of movies or work and,infinitely more important,the telephone never rings. It really is a beautiful,simple life,” he added.

The 46-year-old star insists he prefers the quiet life,but joked that he took a role in his latest film ‘The Tourist’ with Angelina Jolie to seek more attention.

“I feel I’m not getting photographed by the paparazzi enough,so I figure I’ll go and hang out in Venice with Brad and Angelina,” Depp said.
