Johnny Depp dream of happy kids

Johnny Depp‘s “dream” is to have happy children.

Despite his successful Hollywood career, the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides actor says the most important wish in his life is for his 12-year-old daughter Lily Rose and nine-year-old son Jack his kids with long-term partner Vanessa Paradis to be content.

“As a family man, all you want as a dad, is pure happiness for your kids, that’s a universal sort of parent wish,” he said. “That’s my dream. Happy kids.”

Discussing his future, the 47-year-old actor just wants a calm life without any significant “ups and downs”.

“Smooth sailing, that’s what I hope for,” he said. “I’m OK with no big ups, no big downs, it’s alright, just full steam ahead, all things well and good.”

However, he does hope one day he can take part in a production of William Shakespeare’s classic play, Hamlet although he wouldn’t want to announce it.

“Hamlet is one of those, I don’t know, actor cliche things that bounces around in your head,” he said.

“Many years ago, Marlon Brando planted that seed in my skull. The thing I’d like to do with Hamlet is to do it as under the radar as possible, in a very tiny theater, unannounced and different names and it caught on then you could just move it somewhere else.”
