Johnny Depp blames fans for turning him into a recluse

London, June 27: Johnny Depp has laid the blame of turning into a recluse on his fans’ shoulders, saying he cannot bear being gawked.The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star said he would much rather stay home in a “dark room” than be mobbed by fans at red carpet events and film premieres.

"You don’t ever get used to that kind of thing. That’s why I hardly ever leave my house. I don’t go anywhere,” a newspaper quoted him as telling the UK’s Daily Telegraph. “I understand what it’s about but there’s only so much of that sort of thing a human being can deal with. "I can’t think of myself in terms of celebrity. It’s just too weird. If the choice is between being gawked at and sitting in a chair in a dark room, I prefer the dark room," he added. ANI
