“I just love places with character. I have various houses in various places and they all mean something special to me,” he said. “I don’t have them just to say I own them, I have them for use and because they are a bit special.” The Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald actor additionally explained that staying in the area gave him a more comfortable life away from the spotlight. He added: “British people are cool and will greet you as if you are a neighbour without going over the top.” Privacy was another reason for Depp. “I don’t mind if people want an autograph or a brief chat but not when I am having some private time with my family,” he said. “I can go into shops without being surrounded by people wanting selfies. I don’t mind that up to a point, but sometimes it gets a little too crowded.” Pointing out that the low-key lifestyle suited him the best, he further said: “I like going to places, seeing things and meeting people – but I’m not the great extrovert that people think.” Johnny Depp Looks Cool as Cucumber in His Latest Post at an Art Gallery (View Pic).

I can just be me – and that’s nice.” Johnny bought an 850-acre estate in Somerset for 13 million pound ($1,58,95,100) in 2014, as per the Evening Standard.
