I don't want my kids to Google me and read lies, says Johnny Depp

London, May 9 (ANI): Johnny Depp, usually is open about his off-screen life, is keeping schtum on his supposed split with French lover of 14 years Vanessa Paradis, in case their kids Lily-Rose and Jack read about it online.

Type the name "Johnny Depp" into the internet search engine Google and 113 million results are retrieved in the blink of an eye, and that mind-boggling total received an unexpected surge recently when he was reported to have broken up with the singer.

"For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I'm human and I'm normal - well, semi-normal," the Mirror quoted him as saying.

"But now my kids have access to the internet and are able to read truth, lies, total fiction, rumours and this whole thing has become a mulch of fodder.

"So I've decided to stay hush-hush and, if the rumours spin, then let them spin.

"I have to sit my kids down and say, 'Look, this is an occupational hazard for me and your mum. It's out of our hands, so don't go looking for it," he said.

He also admits he is particularly concerned for Lily-Rose, who has her own fans raving about her online.

"It's an odd thing when there is a fan page for my daughter who is not yet 13.

"This is a little girl who is quite sophisticated and beautiful and a lot of fun but she's a little girl and a student.

"She just happens to be our kid and she certainly finds it weird. I find it bizarre and somewhat ugly," he added. (ANI)
