Johnny Depp tired of living life in the fast lane

Johnny Depp Hollywood star Johnny Depp has revealed he's tired of

living life in the fast lane.

The 'Sweeney Todd' star, 44, famed for his wild partying in the mid

90s, has given up driving fast cars and now lives "calmly" in France

with partner Vanessa Paradis and their two young children.

The 44-year-old star said: "I've have always liked speed - now I like

comfort. We all go through stages of wanting fast cars and bikes. I

was no different. Who wouldn't want a Maserati? But I also wanted to

ride in style, or with a bit of history. To get there and to enjoy the

journey.

"I have learnt to grow up and still enjoy myself. I spent a lot of

years living on the edge - everyone knows that. So it is good that I

now live calmly and happily."

Johnny, who spent his childhood moving around with his mother, also

revealed he now finally feels settled.

Johnny said: "I have never felt more rooted anywhere. I have never

been in one place, like this, where I do feel completely at home. Los

Angeles was my home from the early 80s to the late 90s but it still

felt so transient compared to this."
