Johnny Depp On Fatherhood, "Mortifying" Celebrity

People:

Elusive actor Johnny Depp is finally opening up about one thing - his love for his family.

"I could sit there all day and do nothing but watch them grow," he says in the January issue of Britain's Psychologies magazine. "I'm totally inspired by them."

Depp, 45, has two children - Lily-Rose, 9, and Jack, 6 - with longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis. He says meeting Paradis gave him "proper perspective and understanding" in his life.

"It wasn't until then that things started to get real for me," he tells the magazine. "We just have a miraculous understanding of each other."

HEY DEPP--STOP COMPLAINING AND ACTING SO GAY; I'D TRADE IN A SECOND.

Do you have a problem, frost 12??

First of all, he is mostly thankful for his life. Secondly, he's straight. And stop using the word "gay" that way. Are you in high school?

Also,

your caps button appears to be stuck.

I love him! He is so cute. I love all his movies. Even the crappy ones. He is so handsome for his age. If only Brad would have aged as well.

Can somebody explain something to me?

How come so many people cast blame on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie for having children together out of wedlock, but nobody blames Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis? Something doesn't make sense.

I know what you're saying.

Personally, I don't care at all. If the children are being taken care of, that's all that matters.

[PuddinPie]

watch them grow??????

[bwilder]

he's so HOTTTTTTTTTTTTT !!

[rini]

Paris,

We know it's you.

[Bitsko]

Slow news day?

[CynicalGirl23]

Mortified? Really? I feel so sorry for a guy who's taking a $55.8 million paycheck to do another crap sequel.

I'm not saying the guy's hard on the eyes, but don't complain about your celebrity status when you're bringing home superstar bacon.

It's hard to imagine that someone of Depp's talent and stature can be so down-to-earth and unfazed (embarrased even) by his own celebrity. He's a great role model, though I'm sure he'd roll his eyes at that thought. Well you are, Johnny, so deal with it!

[serindipity803]

That is how he deals with it. He has found the secret to staying fresh; stay humble.

I don't think it's sincere...­watched him in an interview and he was kind of fake.

This site keeps getting better every day. At last a website that can cater to male and FEMALE fans!

I wish more guys could care about their children like Mr. Depp has expressed to the "Britain's Psychologies magazine." All though thanks to the Huffington post we don't have to buy a People magazine to read about it. Where do I sign up to be a fan of the owner of this website?

[SuperBucky]

...Dear Lord. Another multi millionaire actor complaining about being a celebrity. The reason he can sit and watch his kids all day is because he IS a CELEBRITY. Helllllooo­oooo...thi­s is what you signed up for! Maybe Celebrities eat a dumb pill once they get famous..ho­w pedestrian.

[kymlosang]

no kidding. i can guarantee you he LOVES it. to claim otherwise is just lame. he certainly would never give it up so there you have it.

[Pushing60]

I totally LOVE Johnny Depp......­great actor and oh so yummy!

[kellygrrrl]

[LeaveArtieAlone]

[marymansour]

Now here is a guy I could read about all day. A splendid actor.

[CKieffer]

Agreed!
