Johnny Depp‘s 22-year-old son, Jack, has been working as a bartender in Paris instead of following in his father’s acting footsteps.
The owner of the Lebanese restaurant L’Area in Paris spoke to the Daily mail on Saturday, December 7 about Jack’s appearances as a bartender and in the downstairs kitchen of the establishment.
“Jack is a great guy. He stays out of the spotlight, but worked here behind the bar and in the kitchen,” Edouard Chueke the outlet told us.
Jack worked quietly at the restaurant for two years before recently leaving. “He was a good employee, he left a few months ago, but I expect him back later next year,” Chueke said. “Good staff is hard to find.”
Chueke noticed that Jack’s mother, Vanessa Paradisand sister Lily-Rose Depp were ‘regulars’ during his time working at the restaurant, adding: ‘Lily was mixing caipirinhas behind the bar and really got into it, enjoying it.’
Depp, 61, and Paradis, 51, welcomed Lily-Rose, 25, and Jack during their 14-year relationship. The former couple met in 1998 when Depp was filming The ninth gate. Depp and Paradis never tied the knot.
‘I never needed that piece of paper. Marriage really is from soul to soul, from heart to heart. You don’t need someone to say, ‘Okay, you’re married,'” Depp said Extra in 2010 before their split. ‘If Vanessa wanted to get married, why not? But the thing is, I would be so scared of messing up her last name! She has such a good last name.’
For her part, Paradis previously opened up about her and Depp’s decision to raise their children near her birthplace in France.
Partners and co-parents. Before Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor had a fourteen-year relationship with Vanessa Paradis. Depp met the French model in Paris in 1998 during the filming of The Ninth Gate. “She was wearing a dress with a bare back and I saw it […]
“I secretly choose France for my children. Even though Los Angeles is also great,” she explained to Belgium Weekend Knack magazine in 2007. “Only in the south of France can you live much more anonymously. And that’s wonderful, especially when the children are still young.”
While Lily-Rose pursued a career in acting and modeling, Jack preferred to stay out of the spotlight.
“Apart from school plays and such, he has shown no desire to be an actor,” Depp said The Philippine Daily Inquirer in 2014.
Lily-Rose gave a rare insight into her bond with Jack earlier this month, calling her younger brother ‘the coolest person ever’ while speaking to Natalie Portman for Interview magazine about her role in Nosferatu.
One leg up. Not everyone starts at the bottom in Hollywood, especially if their parents are already famous. These famous kids have spoken out about being “fake babies.” Some Euphoria fans were shocked to learn that Maude Apatow had famous parents, The Other Woman star Leslie Mann and writer/director Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin). Her […]
“This one in particular was big for me, because my brother and I were both super obsessed with Dracula when we were younger. My brother dressed up as Dracula when he went to school as a child,” she recalls. “I thought, ‘Wow, if I get this role, my brother will finally think I’m cool.'”
She continued, “It’s the classic thing: when you have a younger brother or sister, they think you’re so cool when you’re a kid, and then when you get older, now I think he’s so cool, and I like, ‘Let’s hang up!’ And he says, ‘I’m busy.’ But yeah, I think I gained some points with this.
