Depp bans kids from Libertine

Fri 18 Nov 10:00 AM

Johnny Depp says he won't allow his two children to watch his new movie The Libertine for at least 20 years, because he wants to protect their innocence.

The film sees Depp playing 17th century author Lord Rochester who drinks himself to an early grave. Unsurprisingly, the actor feels it would be inappropriate for six-year-old Lily-Rose and three-year-old Jack.

"I want my kiddies to be given the opportunity to be children and innocent and innocent and free for as long as possible before the inevitable bad things in the world rear their ugly heads," he said. "I would say it's safe for them to see Pirates Of The Caribbean and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory but I'd want to wait 20 years before letting them see The Libertine."
