Johnny Depp has reportedly moved to a house in the Sussex countryside of the UK.

The actor, who was previously living in a Soho townhouse in London, is said to have made the move for reasons of peace, privacy, and security.

By relocating, Johnny Depp has followed in the footsteps of his late friend, guitarist Jeff Beck, who owned and lived in a 16th-century house in the location.

The Actor Bought A Large House In The Sussex Countryside

According to the Daily Mail, Depp recently snapped up a home in the Sussex countryside, near the border with Kent.

While specific details about the house remain scarce, it is believed to be significantly larger than the Soho townhouse he previously occupied in London.

As for why the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star made the decision, he reportedly did so for reasons of peace, privacy, and security.

It is also possible that the move was done in homage to his late friend, guitarist Jeff Beck, who owned a Renaissance-style home in the same area.

Depp had lived there with Beck during the COVID-19 pandemic and once described the place as "beautiful and wet," according to a friend.

He returned to the property in 2023 following Beck's death from bacterial meningitis. Then, Depp and Beck's widow, Sandra, gave the legendary guitarist a "green burial" on the grounds of the estate.

Johnny Depp Feels At Home At The Location

As reported by the outlet, friends of the actor claim he feels at home at the location. Part of the appeal may lie in the fact that key members of his inner circle, including Stephen Deuters, CEO of his UK production company, also reside in Sussex.

Meanwhile, Depp has already begun settling into local life. He has been spotted at The Middle House pub and hotel in Mayfield, East Sussex, and has even paid a visit to the Folly Wildlife Rescue center, where his late friend Jeff Beck was a known patron.

During the visit, Depp was photographed gently cradling an orphaned badger named Freddie Mercury.

Further evidence that Depp has taken up residence at the property came last week, when he was reportedly chauffeured from the home to the premiere of his new film, "Modigliani: Three Days on the Wing of Madness."

How Johnny Depp Arrived For The Premiere Of His New Movie

For the London premiere of the movie, "Modi," which Depp directed, the actor arrived in oversized, all-black tailored pants and jackets.

The actor accessorized the outfit with a stylish scarf around his neck and a pair of colored sunglasses that slightly veiled his eyes. Depp also rocked his signature metal jewelry for the outing.

In "Modi," Depp is behind the camera, while the titular role is played by Italian actor Riccardo Scamarcio (Amedeo Modigliani). It also featured veteran actor Al Pacino as art collector Maurice Gangnat.

Speaking about his second attempt at directing, Depp said in a previous statement that he was "incredibly honored" to have helmed the project.

"The saga of Mr. Modigliani's life is one that I'm incredibly honored, and truly humbled, to bring to the screen," Depp said, per People Magazine.

"It was a life of great hardship, but eventual triumph — a universally human story all viewers can identify with," he added.

The Actor Previously Opened Up About His Childhood Trauma In A Raw Interview

Earlier in the month, Depp pulled back the curtain on his traumatic childhood, particularly how he suffered physical abuse at the hands of his late mother, Betty Sue Palmer.

"She beat me with a f-ck stick, a f-ck shoe, an ashtray, a phone, it didn't matter, man," he told The Telegraph. "But I thank her for that."

"Physical violence, physical abuse. That was a constant," he further recalled. "We were all somewhat shell-shocked. She'd walked past, you'd shield yourself because you didn't know what would happen."

Johnny Depp Said The Psychological Abuse 'Was Almost Worse' Than The Beatings He Received

While the physical violence Depp endured at the hands of his mother was harrowing, he revealed that it was the emotional turmoil that left the deepest scars.

"The verbal abuse, the psychological abuse, was almost worse than the beatings," Depp noted.

He continued, "The beatings were just physical pain. The physical pain, you learn to deal with. You learn to accept it. You learn to deal with it."
