Johnny Depp: Retiring on his Private Island?
By Islomaniac | January 12, 2007
I recently came across an article about one of my favorite contemporary actors, Johnny Depp. Apparently he is considering retiring to his private island called Little Halls Pond Cay so his long time girlfriend Vanessa Paradis can focus on her career. He is a great guy and deserves a break, hopefully he finds the time to make the occasional film.

Johnny and Vanessa plan to raise their kids in the paradise setting of their own private Caribbean island -a mile-long hideaway south of Nassau he bought for Pounds 1.9m. This is close to where Johnny filmed his role as Captain Jack
in the sequel to Pirates Of The Caribbean, to be released in July.
“It’ll be our home base, but we’ll still spend time in France and in the States so our children will grow up in both cultures.
“We’ve been staying in the Caribbean for a long time now while I’ve been shooting the Pirates films. It’s just so beautiful there. Living in the islands is beyond heaven.
“I almost feel guilty about being so happy. You start to think that there’s something terrible waiting for you around the corner, and then you take a peek and all you see are palm trees and your family.
“I’m still cynical about things, but I don’t have a dark vision of the world any more. Captain Jack lets me pour a lot of childlike wonder into the character and bring out that side of me.
“I just have a very good feeling about things. It’s almost scary because you sometimes panic and wonder what’s going to go wrong because everything is just too good to be true.
“I have to work hard at not worrying, but right now everything’s very, very good.”
