The A-Z Of Johnny Depp
Our full guide to a cinema icon…
By James WhiteNov 5th 2009Is for Island
Depp owns one, alongside other properties in France and the US.
Little Hall's Bond Cay is his private, 45-acre island in the Bahamas.
"The island is my decompression," he told Vanity Fair. "It's my way of trying to return to normalcy.... Escapism is survival to me."
The beaches are named after his partner, Vanessa Paradis, their children - Lily and Jack, actor Marlon Brando and Hunter S Thompson.
He also named one "Heath's Place" after the late Australian actor.
"I don't think I'd ever seen any place so pure and beautiful," he's said of the sea-set locale.
"You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It's instant freedom. And that rare beast - simplicity - can be had. And a little morsel of anonymity.
"Whenever I was getting frustrated about being 'novelty boy' and making movies, I told myself, 'Calm down.' I can come down here and disappear."
