Washington, Nov 1 : Johnny Depp has admitted that fatherhood has inspired him more than anything in his life and gave him a new perspective on the world.

The 48-year-old actor has said that having children gave him “clarity” and made him turn his back on his hard partying lifestyle.

“It was having children that woke me up,” Contactmusic quoted the actor as telling GQ.

“To fall in love, to that degree, to fall in love with ... these little angels. Who didn’t ask to arrive, but who arrived anyway.

“That was just huge for me. It was like the uplifting of a veil. There was something that it gave me, for the very first time in my life. Clarity,” he added.

The ‘Pirates of the Carribean’ star developed a hard partying reputation in the 90s when he was engaged to actress Winona Ryder and then in a four-year relationship with supermodel Kate Moss, and was friends with Liam and Noel Gallagher from Oasis. (ANI)
