Johnny Depp`s "dream" is to have happy children
Despite his successful Hollywood career, the `Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides` actor says the most important wish in his life is for his 12-year-old daughter Lily Rose and nine-year-old son Jack - his kids with long-term partner Vanessa Paradis - to be content.
He said: "As a family man, all you want as a dad, is pure happiness for your kids, that`s a universal sort of parent wish. That`s my dream. Happy kids."
Discussing his future, the 47-year-old actor just wants a calm life without any significant "ups and downs".
He added to The Independent newspaper: "Smooth sailing, that`s what I hope for. I`m OK with no big ups, no big downs, it`s alright, just full steam ahead, all things well and good."
However, he does hope one day he can take part in a production of William Shakespeare`s classic play, `Hamlet` - although he wouldn`t want to announce it.
He said: "`Hamlet` is one of those, I don`t know, actor cliche things that bounces around in your head.
"Many years ago, Marlon Brando planted that seed in my skull. The thing I`d like to do with `Hamlet` is to do it as under the radar as possible, in a very tiny theatre, unannounced and different names and it caught on then you could just move it somewhere else."
