Avoiding the Limelight: Jack Depp Finds Solace in Paris
While his sister, Lily-Rose Depp, has embraced the world of acting, she reveals that Jack prefers a more understated life, far from the bright lights of Hollywood. He found his niche working as a barman in a charming Parisian restaurant.
Jack has been documenting if he has chosen a life path different from his superstar parents.
He worked for two years at the popular Lebanese restaurant L’Area, a Bastille district favorite famed for its welcoming atmosphere. The eatery attracts a notable clientele of creatives, from fashion and music to film industry figures. Edward Schueke, the restaurant owner, remembers Jack as an exemplary employee.
“Jack is a great guy. He worked here for two years and was an excellent employee. He left us a few months ago, but I expect him to return next year. Good shots are hard to come by,” shared Edward, adding, “Jack’s sister, actress Lily-Rose Depp, also helped out behind the bar, mixing cocktails and enjoying the experience.”
Seeking a Normal Life
Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have always prioritized shielding their children from the spotlight, hoping to give them a normal childhood away from the glare of fame.
“I keep them off the cameras because I don’t want our kids to be dragged into our fame without their consent. If one day they decide to be in the spotlight themselves, I won’t stop them,” Vanessa shared in a 2007 interview.
It’s clear he valued a different route.
She remembers fiercely supporting his decision to follow his sáng for music and visual arts, noting that Jack “draws incredibly well and has a flair for music.” Though he hasn’t shown interest in becoming an actor, Johnny Depp has expressed complete acceptance, saying, “He has expressed no desire to become an actor,” he said in 2014. “But apart from school plays,
