Age gap with Amber Heard is not an issue: Johnny Depp

Hollywood star Johnny Depp says the huge age difference between him and his actress fiance Amber Heard has never posed a problem in their relationship.

The 50-year-old actor believes Amber, 27, who he fell for on the set of 'The Rum Diary', has a lot to teach him about life, reported Contactmusic.

When Depp was asked whether the age difference is ever a problem, he replied, "I don't think so."

"I've got a lot of life experience, certainly, but I don't feel like I'm looking down on her. Or being her mentor. I actually feel like she's the one inspiring me!," he added.
 

The 'Transcendence' actor, who separated from long-term partner Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his children Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11, in the summer of 2012 feels that people become courageous with age.

"Sometimes, even things that seem simple and obvious are scary. I think age, experience and wisdom give us the capacity to move beyond certain stages we didn't dare cross before," he said.
