Celebrities love south France

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Many regular folk dream of living the glamorous Hollywood life, but “Pirates Of The Caribbean” star Johnny Depp couldn’t be happier than when he is living the simple life at home with his family in France.

The dad-of-two revealed in an interview with French magazine VSD this week that he loves checking on his vegetable garden on his 30-acre property he shares with his longtime partner, Vanessa Paradis, in the south of France.

He says the “little village” in which the couple and their two kids, Lily Rose, 10, and Jack, 7, live “has given me everything… a marvelous family and also an equilibrium which I missed enormously.”

Depp’s lifestyle for months on end is “a truly simple existence” that consists of going to see if his “vegetables are growing, if certain flowers have started to bloom”.

The wine connoisseur at heart soon hopes to start making wine according to People.com , “but I'll keep it for myself before daring to sell it commercially."

But according to NDTV.com , the actor joked that he took a role in “The Tourist” that he is now filming with fellow France-lover, Angelina Jolie, in Venice to steal some attention away from Brangelina.

“I feel I’m not getting photographed by the paparazzi enough, so I figure I’ll go ahead and hang out in Venice with Brad and Angelina,” said Depp.

According to HookedOnHouses.com , Jolie and Pitt share such a passion for France they decided to welcome their twins Knox and Vivienne into the world on the French Riviera in July 2008.

Also a resident in southern France, U2 frontman Bono got a visit from the Jolie-Pitts before the birth of their twins, reports Boston.com .

And according to the Daily Mail , David and Victoria Beckham enjoy visiting Elton John at his mansion in the hills behind Nice whenever they vacation in France.
