Johnny Depp scolds his children in French.
The Hollywood actor - whose partner is French singer Vanessa Paradis - claims his children, Lily-Rose, six, and three-year-old Jack only obey him when he uses Gallic phrases to reprimand them.
He revealed: "They're not bratty kids, but every so often when they start to whine. They whine about things they want. So instead of telling them off in English I say it in French, I tell them, 'Chignes-pas!'
"As soon as I say that they stop. It works every time."
Johnny admits he also shows his children his new movie, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' - in which the film's naughty youngsters all meet sticky ends - to scare them into behaving.
He confessed to Britain's Hello magazine: "I sit them in front of the movie and say, 'Look what happened to this bad kid, and to that one'."
