Johnny Depp says that being with his girlfriend is the only thing that keeps him sane.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star, who has battled addictions to drink and drugs, says that long-term lover Vanessa Paradis is the only person who can rescue him from his demons when he falls into bouts of depression.
He told America's Rolling Stone magazine: "There have been many times when I have teetered on the brink of absolute madness. Unfortunately once I go, I go, so I count on Vanessa to talk me down." The heartthrob star, who previously dated supermodel Kate Moss, says that his low points are often so bad that even the love of a good woman cannot rescue him.
But the Hollywood actor, who now lives in a lavish £1 million pad in the south of France with former model Vanessa and their two children, five-year-old Lily-Rose Melody and Jack, two, says his melancholic episodes have receded since he became a father.
He added: "It takes some serious fu**ing reeling-in to bring me back to three-dimensional reality. But it's not anywhere as disturbing as it used to be. With age you do mellow in certain areas and it's fu**ing happiness."
I didn't realise she was actually a real model. When they say former model, I thought she was a small time, K-mart catalogue kind of model. But she;s just done the new Chanel campaign:
Do you think she gets these jobs based on her looks, or based on being Johnny Depp's wife? I guess some of both.
Vanessa Paradis: My marriage to Johnny Depp doesn't need a certificate
Vanessa Paradis says she has no desire to marry Johnny Depp, saying she doesn't need a marriage certificate to prove their love for each other. The beautiful actress, who has two children with the Hollywood heartthrob, says she doesn't feel their relationship would benefit from tying the knot.
She revealed: "We both had pasts, but when we met each other we just knew. Whether there's a bit of paper or not, as far as I'm concerned I'm married."
Vanessa has also vowed never to move back to Depp's homeland. The sexy actress, who lives in her native France with the star, says she couldn't cope with a society where there is no culture of walking.
She said: "If I lived there I would miss my friends most of all, and I would miss the cafés and the walking, because people don't walk much in America."
