Depp's fears for Moss

Johnny Depp warned Pete Doherty to quit his wild antics for the sake of girlfriend Kate Moss.

The Hollywood heartthrob - who enjoyed a four-year romance with the stunning supermodel before they split in 1998 - reportedly feared for Kate's future if she stayed with troubled Pete.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star - a former hell raiser who was once notorious for his wild man ways - is said to have advised the drug-addicted Babyshambles singer to focus on raising his son by model Lisa Moorish. A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper the pair met when Johnny came to London for the premiere of his new movie, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.

The source revealed: "Johnny is still close to Kate and they've remained friends. Since she had her daughter Lila Grace he's been increasingly concerned for her and wants to make sure she is in good hands."

He added: "He had obviously heard about Pete's wild, rock star antics  so he had  a real heart to heart with him. Johnny was saying how having children had changed his life and that Pete should focus on raising his son Estille and on being a good father."

Earlier this month it was rumoured Kate had dumped the rocker after he got involved in a street brawl.

She reportedly ordered the self-confessed heroin addict move out of her home following his fight in a London street.
