London: Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp says the huge sums of money he is offered to star in movies are 'stupid'.
The 48 year old actor, who earned an estimated USD 300 million for his role in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies, says he has accepted the huge deals for the sake of his two children, Lily-Rose, 11, and nine year old Jack, Femalefirst
reported.
"Basically, if they're going to pay me the stupid money right now, I'm going to take it. I have to. I mean, it's not for me. Do you know what I mean? At this point, it's for my kids. It's ridiculous, yeah, yeah. But ultimately is it for
me? No. No. It's for the kids," he said.
However, the actor, who is in a long-term relationship with singer-and-actress Vanessa Paradis, admitted he has other motivations for continuing to act.
"There is also a part of me that needs to have this kind of stimulation to the brain," he said.
The notoriously private star also spoke of his hatred of having his pictures taken.
"Well, you just feel like you're being raped somehow. Raped ... It feels like a kind of weird, just weird, man. Whenever you have a photoshoot or something like that, it's like, you just feel dumb. It's just so stupid," he added.
