Matt Damon has said that he is glad that he is not as famous as Johnny Depp because it would have stopped him from doing things that normal people do, such as taking his children to school.

The 42-year-old actor is relieved his film roles haven't propelled him to the same level of stratospheric stardom as the 50-year-old icon, who has waved goodbye to his privacy since agreeing to play eccentric Captain Jack Sparrow in the 'Pirates of the Carribean' franchise, Contactmusic reported.

When asked whether he's glad he can still take his daughters to school like a normal father, he replied that it's been that way for four years.
