The ‘Lone Ranger’ star, who is rarely photographed without a pair of tinted glasses, claims he has been “basically blind as a bat” in his left eye since birth and the problem is impossible to correct.
The 50-year-old actor told the July issue of
Rolling Stone magazine that all of his glasses are prescription and he relies heavily on them.
He explained: “Everything is just very, very
blurry. I’ve never had proper vision.”
The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star, who has two
children, Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11, with his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Paradis,
said he can only see a few inches from his face if he is playing a character
that does not wear glasses or sunglasses.
Meanwhile, the actor, who is now dating actress
Amber Heard, also revealed that he thinks about retiring from Hollywood “every
day”, but is unlikely to do so in the near future.
He said: “I think while I’ve got the opportunity
and the desire and the creative spark to do the things that I can do right now,
I should do them. And then, at a certain point, just take it down to the bare
minimum and concentrate on, I guess, living life. Really living life. And going
somewhere where you don’t have to be on the run, or sneak in through the
kitchen or the underground labyrinth of the hotel. At a certain point, when you
get old enough or get a few brain cells back, you realise that, on some level,
you lived a life of a fugitive.”
But he added: “I don’t know if I can relax. Relax,
I can’t do. My brain, on idle, is a bad thing. I just get weird. I mean, not
weird. I get, I get antsy.”
Think Johnny Depp is cool, don't retire pls still want to see you on my screen.
