Johnny’s recipe for decompression
When not making blockbusters, Johnny Depp likes to relax far from Hollywood – around his 45-acre private Bahamian island, Little Hall’s Pond Cay, to be exact.
As experienced from aboard his 156-ft. yacht, the Vajoliroja, an amalgam of the names of his children, himself, and partner Vanessa Paradis, “I don’t think I’d ever seen any place so pure and beautiful,” the Public Enemies star, 45, tells Vanity Fair .
The Pond Cay life, he says, “is my decompression. It’s my way of trying to return to normalcy,” he says. “Escapism is survival to me.”
On the island itself, one can snorkel among barracudas and neon-colored fish, and nurse sharks in what Depp has named Heath’s Place, after Heath Ledger.
“You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It’s instant freedom. And that rare beast – simplicity – can be had. And a little morsel of anonymity,” he says.
