The 47-year-old actor Johnny Depp, who has children Lily, 11 and Jack, eight with French singer-and-actress Vanessa Paradis, likes to maintain a low-profile and so doesn’t have a mobile phone, but does keep the internet because he thinks it is an “interesting” way to communicate.
He said, “We have internet and stuff like that because I think that’s the safest form, well, most interesting form of communication. I just don’t like phones, I just don’t like them. Being reachable all the time.”
Asked how a friend would be able to get in touch with him should they need to, he told Access Hollywood, “You’d have to know how to just buzz me on the internet or something.”
Johnny’s The Tourist co-star Angelina Jolie, recently revealed neither she nor Johnny and Vanessa are particularly social.

Looks don’t matter: Helen
The 65-year-old actress Dame Helen Mirren, who is often highlighted as one of the most beautiful Hollywood actresses, is a bit cross that so much is made of her looks because it means women feel pressured into always appearing their best.
Asked how it makes her feel to be a beauty role model in her 60s, she said, “A bit cross, actually. We have to let go of this. It creates even more pressure on women, and I certainly don’t want to be a part of that. I’m not beautiful. I clean up nice. Why don’t we talk about the fact, for example, that I just did Arthur, and the cinematographer was a woman, the film operator was a woman, the whole camera team were women? That’s where we should be putting our attention. The fact that I look good at the age I am is bloody irrelevant.”
