Johnny Depp has revealed that he had his family with him in Puerto Rico while he filmed new movie The Rum Diary.
Depp returns to the big screen later this year with an adaptation of the Hunter S. Thompson novel of the same name.
Depp has been with his partner Vanessa Paradis since 1998 and together they have two children.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight the actor said: "I had the family down there for a couple of months.
"As you well know, it's almost impossible to be away from them for too long a period. You start to go a little sideways."
The Rum Diary is the second Hunter S. Thompson project that Depp has been involved in after Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.
And Depp admits that there was a personal link for him to this movie: "There was a connection. He was my best friend.
"He was someone I could call for advice, send some absurdist material to and he could make me laugh.
"In the mentor or fatherly sense, he was a great man of wisdom, and I was able to sponge a lot from him."
The Rum Diary is released 4th November.
