Johnny Depp has said that the 23-year age gap between himself and fiancee Amber Heard is not an issue.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star, 50, recently got engaged to Amber, 27, but told Tele 2 Semaines magazine that he didn't think their age difference would cause problems.

According to The Sun, he said: "I've got a lot of life experience, certainly, but I don't feel like I'm looking down on her, or being her mentor. I actually feel like she's the one inspiring me."

Johnny also talked about not getting married to long-term partner Vanessa Paradis, who he was with from 1998 to 2012.

He said: "Sometimes even things that seem simple and obvious are scary. Age, experience and wisdom give us the capacity to move beyond certain stages we didn't dare cross before."

Asked what he would do if he only had a few weeks left to live, he revealed: "I would party every day with all the people I love. I would also take all the substances possible and imaginable."
