Johnny Depp shares update about life in rural England

Johnny Depp recently shared a little taste of his life in Somerset, a rural part of England where he has been living. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor noted that the Southwest England county is a place that provides him with a life that is more out of the limelight.

"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," Depp told Somerset Life magazine for their April issue. "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. British people are cool and will greet you as if you are a neighbor without going over the top."

While Depp is no stranger to receiving attention from fans, he shared that he isn't the extrovert one may assume him to be.

"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."

Reflecting on all of his properties, Depp noted that his homes all serve a purpose.

"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."
