Johnny Depp 'not too far away' from quitting acting

 

Johnny Depp has revealed that he could quit acting in the near future to pursue "quieter things".

The American actor, 50, told BBC Breakfast that he was "probably not too far away" from quitting acting, calling elements of the profession an "insane option for a human being".

He said: "At a certain point you start thinking. When you add up the amount of dialogue that you say per year and you realise that you've said written words more than you've had a chance to say your own words, you start thinking about that as an insane option for a human being. Are there quieter things that I wouldn't mind doing? Yeh, I wouldn't mind that."

"I wouldn't say I'm dropping out any second, but I would say it's probably not too far away," he added.

Depp, a three-time Oscar nominee, is best known for his performances in Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hollow, and the Pirates of the Caribbean films.
