After roughly half a decade spent suing his ex-wife, a tabloid, his business managers, and his longtime lawyer, Johnny Depp is now living the quiet life in the English countryside. According to the Daily Mail, he appears in the “Gardens Special” of Somerset Life the British tabloid reports. In “Johnny Depp: The Hollywood A-Lister at Home in Somerset,” the embattled actor confesses to…being an introvert. Johnny told the magazine, “I just love places with character. British people are cool and will greet you as if you are a neighbor—without going over the top. I like going to places, seeing things and meeting people—but I’m not the great extrovert that people think.”
“In truth, I’m quite a shy person,” he said. “That’s one of the great things about Britain, and especially Somerset. I can just be me—and that’s nice.”
“I can go into shops without being surrounded by people wanting selfies,” Depp added. “I don’t mind that up to a point, but sometimes it gets a little too crowded.”
Part of what must contribute to the niceness of life in Somerset for Johnny Depp is that the estate he bought there in 2014, according to the Daily Mail, is 850 acres and a pile of 12-bedrooms and eight baths.
Depp recently sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation and won—and also lost in part in the simultaneous countersuit. Heard was ordered to pay him $15 million (this was later reduced because of the state’s cap on punitive damages), and he was ordered to pay her $2 million. Both appealed the jury’s decisions, and settled. Ever since, Heard has been forced to lie low since the internet has become an inhospitable place for her, while Depp took something of a victory lap touring with his friend Jeff Beck, the guitarist (Beck died of bacterial meningitis at 78 soon after).
According to the Daily Mail, now in his free time, he lives a very quaint existence in this £13million (nearly $16 million) estate, choppering at least once into Hemswell Cliff for some antiquing and the like. He bought some guitars—according to the Hemswell Antique Centre shop owner, who welcomed the shy guy to his shop—and some other “quirky items” like “a desk chair, three guitars, paint sets, easels, a few pictures, posters,” and “a vase with a skull on it.”
