When Johnny Depp ran to France to escape the paparazzi, I’m sure he never would have imagined having to leave his tranquil paradise. Unfortunately, the very private Pirates of the Caribbean star has come to face this nightmare upon Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s recent move to the beautiful country, which forced many of their die-hard paparazzo to follow suit.

Judging by recent pictures taken of the former heartthrob, I would say that it’s safe to say that he is upset at the large influx of cameras around southern France.

His solution? Pack up and move to England!

The Sweeney Todd actor has been spotted hunting for homes in Norfolk as of late, particularly Flemings Hall and Claxton Manor, the former of which has a moat that would definitely keep those pesky photographers at bay.

The move seems like great timing, particularly if he will indeed take up the role as the Mad Hatter in his best friend’s latest Alice in Wonderland remake!
