Living the pirates live… on a private Island
While the Pirates of the Caribbean; Dead Man’s Chest is breaking all the records ($300 million in 16 days, $500 million already world Wide, nr 1 movie of 2006) Johnny Depp is looking for a little more of the pirates live. Together with his family he will be living on an island he bought back in 2004, dividing his time between living there, in France and in the US.
Depp has meanwhile developed a taste for the littoral life while filming the Disney series. He is reported to be relocating his family from France to a private island in the Bahamas, which he purchased in 2004. The star has described the retreat as “beautiful” and “peaceful” and said that he, his partner, French actress Vanessa Paradis, and their children, will divide their time between the tranquility of the islet, the U.S. and France.
