Johnny Depp has admitted that he is still overwhelmed by the massive support that he receives from his fans across the world.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the Public Enemies star confessed that he still found it "weird" to think of himself in "terms of celebrity".

"Oh man, you don’t ever get used to that kind of thing. You just don’t," he explained.

"That’s why I hardly ever leave my house. I don’t go anywhere. I understand what it’s about and I appreciate it on a very profound level but there’s only so much of that sort of thing a human being can deal with."

The actor, who lives with his family in France, went on to say that "if the choice is between being constantly gawked at and sitting in a chair in a dark room, I prefer the dark room".

Public Enemies is released on July 3.
