Johnny Depp talks about his quiet life in rural England: 'British people are cool'

After winning the court battle against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, Johnny Depp is preferringto keep a little low profile. Leaving all the glitz and glamour of the showbiz world, the actor is currently spending some time in Somerset, a rural area of England.

The 59-year-old actor, who has been away from the spotlight from a while now, recently sat down for an interview with the local magazine Somerset Life.

While talking about his low-key life, the actor said, "I just love places with character. I have various houses in various places, and they all mean something special to me. I don't have them just to say I own them, I have them for use and because they are a bit special.''

He told the publication, "British people are cool and will greet you as if you are a neighbour without going over the top," he shared. "I don't mind if people want an autograph or a brief chat but not when I am having some private time with my family."

He added, "I can go into shops without being surrounded by people wanting selfies. I don't mind that up to a point, but sometimes it gets a little too crowded."

Johnny, who may appear as the extrovert to many, but in the real life he's a shy and quite person.
