Johnny Depp is renting a stunning historic country mansion in the heart of the East Sussex countryside, MailOnline can reveal.
The Hollywood star has chosen rural England over Hollywood as he looks to enjoy a quieter life following a tumultuous five years dominated by his explosive legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard.
Depp, 62 has been spotted by locals enjoying country walks around his manorhouse home and strolling along the high street in Wadhurst, a town near to his lavish pile.
It's believed Depp fell in love with the area when visiting his rock star pal Jeff Beck who stood by him throughout his battle with Heard - even inviting him on stage to play guitar - when other former friends dropped him.
A local source confirmed to MailOnline: 'Mr Depp knows this area well and he loves it here, it's a beautiful home and very peaceful.'
