JOHNNY DEPP - DEPP DENIES SOLELY LIVING IN FRANCE

JOHNNY DEPP struggles to stay away from America for too long, because he loves his homeland too much.

The actor laughs off press reports that claim he spends all his time at his French homes, a converted farmhouse near St Tropez and an apartment in Paris - insisting he travels between the US and Europe with his partner VANESSA PARADIS and their two children.

He says, "The big lie is that I live in France now. The French papers are always making out that I do, but I don't.

"In fact I divide my time equally between LA and France. Sure I like France, and it has some pretty good wines, but I really miss America."
