Johnny Depp: Southern France is 'paradise'

In a new interview with the French magazine VSD, Johnny Depp opens up about the joys of living in Southern France.

A longtime resident of Plan-de-la-Tour in southern France, Depp says, "in the Var where I live, it's very interesting. [The region is] notable for rosé and it's very good, though I prefer red myself."

Currently filming "The Tourist" in Venice with Angelina Jolie, Depp says living in France with longtime partner Vanessa Paradis and their two children, Lily-Rose, 10, and Jack, 7, "has given me everything; A marvelous family and also an equilibrium which I missed enormously."

"With Vanessa and the kids, we live in a sort of little village in the south and I have the impression of being in paradise," he continues. "It's a property of about 30 acres and you know what I do there -- absolutely nothing. There are times when I don't leave the property for three months at a time."

Depp says his lifestyle is a "truly simple existence" that's like "being on another planet. When I wake up I go look at my garden. I go see if my vegetables are growing, if certain flowers have started to bloom."
