In a recent interview with Somerset Life, per Daily Mail, Johnny Depp gave a tour of his Somerset estate, which sits on 850 acres. Depp bought the mansion and the Downton Abbey-style property, which has 12 bedrooms and eight bathrooms, in 2014.
During interviews and tours, Depp shared that he prefers his quiet life in Somerset and is not “the great extrovert that people think he is.” The 59-year-old previously resided in London after his friend and rock music legend, Jeff Beck, died recently.
He also talks about how his life has changed since moving to South West England. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star said, “I like going places, seeing things and meeting people — but I’m not as big an extrovert as people think.”

During the interview, Depp also admitted that he is “a bit of a shy person,” which is why Britain, especially Somerset, is so perfect for him. She said, “I can just be me — and that’s good. I can go to the store without being surrounded by people who want to take selfies. I don’t mind that to a degree, but sometimes it gets too crowded.”
Depp’s beautiful home also has a stunning walled garden to enforce its privacy. The “Edward Scissorhands” actor said, “I like places with character. The British are cool and will greet you as if you were a neighbor — without going overboard.”

Earlier in March, Depp surprised customers and the owner of a famous antique shop in Lincolnshire with a visit. The “Dark Shadows” actor arrived at the store by helicopter and spent time inside, eventually buying a guitar.
The shop, Hemswell Antique Centres, has been owned by Robert Miller for about 20 years, and he spoke with Daily Mail about Depp’s visit. Miller shared that he didn’t realize Depp himself was coming because he was only told a special guest would be arriving later that afternoon.
Miller said she was told to conceal the celebrities’ identities when they arrived at the store because they wanted their privacy. He confirmed that Depp “just wanted to relax and walk around without being bombarded by the public.”

When Depp bought the Somerset home in 2014, he and his ex-wife Amber Heard had just gotten engaged. They married in a lavish wedding in 2015, and Heard finally filed for divorce in 2017. However, after their divorce, Depp and Heard were embroiled in some nasty domestic abuse rumors, which led to a defamation trial.
Defamation trials have shifted between America and Britain over the past year in various lawsuits, and a jury ultimately found in Depp’s favor. Heard was ordered to pay $15 million in restitution to her ex-husband. The “Aquaman” actress also won one of the counterclaims she filed against Depp and was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages.
The trial was highly publicized, with significant support for Depp appearing on various social media, particularly TikTok and Twitter. Every court day, crowds gathered to cheer the actor as he arrived and left and jeered Heard and his entourage. Many criticized court procedures and highly publicized trials.
