Johnny Depp, the Lonely Ranger
JOHNNY DEPP’S 14-year relationship with French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis is on the rocks, it was claimed last night.
The iconic Pirates of the Caribbean star is “reaching out to lawyers” after a series of bitter rows between the couple, according to a major US news website.
Hollywood has been buzzing for weeks with rumours that Depp, due to start shooting a remake of The Lone Ranger next month, is unhappy with his home life.
The 48-year-old actor has spent far less time than usual at the French villa near St Tropez he shares with Vanessa, 39, and their children Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, nine.
He is said to have bought a 13-bedroom mansion in the Norfolk village of Burnham Market.
A senior Hollywood figure said last night: “He has seemed moody and troubled of late. If it’s true they are parting, it will be one of the saddest break-ups imaginable.”
