Johnny Depp is sick of being famous.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star would love to lead a quiet life and hopes the public tire of him soon.

He said: "I don't want to be a product. I want to be totally outside and far away from all of it.

"I'm sure it will be a possibility someday again. Maybe when I get old. They get tired of you."

Johnny - who has two children, Lily-Rose, eight, and five-year-old Jack, with partner Vanessa Paradis - tries to keep his personal life private after getting advice from the late Marlon Brando.

He said: "Brando told me, 'That's your world and it's nobody else's business. It's not anybody's entertainment.' "

While Johnny - who can soon be seen in Tim Burton's 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' - loves being an actor, he hates the attention that comes with it.

He added to Esquire magazine: "It'll definitely make you a little weird if you're constantly being stared at.

"I'm not a great fan of all the stuff that goes along with it.

"Of course you want the movies to do well. But I don't want to know who's hot now and who's not and who's making this much dough and who is with this woman or that one. I want to remain ignorant of all this."
