Johnny Depp is likely to finally marry his long-term girlfriend this summer, reports claim.

The 43-year-old actor has been with girlfriend Vanessa Paradis for eight years and the pair have two children together, but the recent illness of daughter Lily-Rose has “spurred them into action”, sources say.

Depp’s seven-year-old daughter was rushed to hospital after she suffered from E.coli poisoning earlier this year, with the actor suspending work on his latest film to keep a vigil at her bedside with Vanessa.

He refused to return to the set of the Sweeney Todd film, which was being shot in London, until Lily-Rose was well again.

And the move brought the family even closer, claim insiders, who suggest a wedding is not too far off.

One source, who lives in the same French village as the couple, told the Daily Mail: “They have talked about marriage on and off for a long time but the recent emotional roller-coaster they have had to endure seems to have spurred them into action.”

However, they added that the couple, who live in the picturesque village of Plan de la Tour, near St Tropez, would not marry in the local church.

The source said: “We understand they will marry this summer. Villagers thought they would wed in the church here but we now hear that they have a little chapel in the grounds of their home.”

Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp has vowed to give up acting until his sick daughter has made a full recovery.

Depp, 43, had been working on a new movie version of Sweeney Todd before seven-year-old Lily-Rose became ill.

She was admitted to a London hospital two weeks ago but was released on 9 March and is being looked after by Depp and his wife Vanessa Paradis.

Staff at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, have been told that they will be laid off unless the actor returns by the weekend.

A film source told The Sun: ‘He does not want to come back until Lily-Rose gets the all clear. The plan is to re-employ everybody when she is better.’

Nine days after Johnny Depp’s 7-year-old daughter was rushed to a London hospital, the cause of Lily-Rose’s mysterious ailment is being pinned on a rusty tack.

According to In Touch, “the wound was left untreated” and “blood poisoning developed. It has now spread through her body and has affected her vital organs.”

While there have been several conflicting reports on the severity of Lily-Rose’s condition, Depp’s reps tell the AP that she is “doing much better.” The actor has reportedly not left Lily-Rose’s bedside since she was admitted to the hospital on February 28.

Johnny Depp’s 7-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, is on the mend after a 9-day stay at a British hospital where she was battling an undisclosed illness. She left the hospital with her family at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday.

“We are happy to report that their daughter is doing much better,” Depp’s rep tells Us. “The family greatly appreciates the continued support and respect of their privacy.”

According to the U.K. publication The Sun, Depp, 43, and his partner Vanessa Paradis, 34, had been holding vigil for their daughter since she checked into the hospital a week and a half ago in “serious condition.”

The Pirates of the Caribbean star — who lives in France with Lily-Rose, Vanessa, and their four-year-old son Jack — was due to start filming Sweeney Todd in England when his daughter fell ill.

A hospital source tells The Sun: “They are worried sick — but Lily-Rose is getting the very best treatment available.”

“Johnny is deeply concerned about his daughter,” a studio source added. “As soon as he heard that she is unwell he went to her bedside. He will do anything for his kids.”

To protect the family’s privacy, publications are being asked not to publish the nature of the illness or the location of the hospital.

Johnny Depp is terrifying his longterm partner Vanessa Paradis by going to extreme lengths to get into his new role as Demon Barber Sweeney Todd.

Depp starts rehearsals for the film adaptation of Stephen’s Sondheim musical in London next month, but he’s preparing for the part already by slitting imaginary throats to the soundtrack of Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) – the 13th century Latin Hymn traditionally used in the Roman Catholic Requiem Mass.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, “Johnny is always very conscientious in his roles. Now he says he has to get into the mind set of a serial killer. He wants to feel adept with the razor blades, to feel as if they were an extension of his arm.

“But he’s terrifying everyone by walking around his home booming out the song – making an arc with his arm when he slits a person’s throat. “Sweeney calls his razors his ‘friends’ and in this song the Demon Barber pours out his love to his blades.”
