may 22, 2011 - THE NATIONAL Johnny Depp: I have a pretty simple life INTERVIEW

Description:

The star of The Pirates of the Caribbean series tells us that being a good dad has led him to settle down on his own Caribbean island.

With 27 years in Hollywood under his belt and the fourth of what was to be only one Pirates of the Caribbean film now in cinemas, the former bad boy Johnny Depp tells John Hiscock that he just wants to be a good dad to his two children and become pals with his astonishing range of characters

Johnny Depp is giving me a rundown of the tattoos that adorn his arms. "Every one has a different meaning and explains a certain point in my life," he says. "My kids are here... Lily-Rose," he says, pointing to her name. "I have Jack here... my grandfather... my mom - she was a waitress at the Holiday Inn in Kentucky so I got her waitress picture tattooed."

There are plenty more because he has been accumulating body art ever since he had the profile of a Native American tattooed on his right bicep when he was 17.
