Johnny Depp has warned photographers to stay away from his children - or else.

"Just make sure that you're really far away because if I'm able to get my hands on you I'd bite your nose off and swallow it," eecho.ie quotes the actor as saying.

"I don't care if they take my photograph. I don't care if they take Vanessa's photograph; we're adults. But when they start taking photos of my kids and putting them in their magazines, that I can't support."
