Johnny Depp 'wants to make own wine'

The Alice in Wonderland actor - who lives in Southern France with partner Vanessa Paradis and their children Lily-Rose, 10, and 7-year-old Jack - admitted that opening his own winery has become a personal ambition.

He told France's VSD: "I have a secret desire to make wine. But I'll keep it for myself before daring to sell it commercially. In the Var where I live, it's very interesting. The region is notable for rose and it's very good, though I prefer red myself."

The 46-year-old star went on to say that he has his family to thank for helping him curb his wild lifestyle.

He added: "France has given me everything. A marvellous family and also an equilibrium which I missed enormously. With Vanessa and the kids, we live in a sort of little village in the south and I have the impression of being in paradise.

"Everything revolves around the children. 'Where will we go for a walk? Should we eat at the house with them or maybe go for a picnic?' These are the problems we face there."
