Overview

  • He told The Sunday Times that the south of France was the only place that ever felt like home for his family with Vanessa Paradis.
  • Depp recalled painting a portrait of Lily-Rose at age 10 and lamented how quickly the years passed as he shifted from “Papa” to just “Dad.”
  • He said choosing an estate near St. Tropez allowed his children to grow up out of the spotlight and enjoy greater anonymity.
  • Now dividing his time between the UK and the Bahamas, the 62-year-old rarely visits the US and is coping with empty-nest feelings.
  • Depp advised his children not to let others define their careers as Lily-Rose pursues acting and Jack embraces a private life as a bartender in Paris.
