Johnny Depp truly deserves to be called a pirate, after he stole Vanessa Paradis's heart for ever. Depp confessed their relationship is stronger than ever and is just as special now as when they first met. His secret? "Have fun and respect", reveals the actor.

He says: "Trust, have fun and respect for one another. Respect for one another's privacy. Respect for what the other person does in their chosen profession. And obviously a whole lot of love.

Vanessa was like a bolt of lightning. She has success on her own terms and when we met it wasn't like she was anything other than this sweet, cool, funny girl.

I'd never experienced anything like that before. She gave me these two beautiful kids."

Johnny Depp, who is currently shooting back-to-back "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequels, has recently worked with Tim Burton for his "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", in which he plays Willy Wonka, the head of the very popular Wonka Chocolate empire, who announces a contest in which five gold tickets have been hidden in chocolate bars and sent throughout the country.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" topped number one at the box office on its first weekend, while "Wedding Crashers" debuted at number two, and "Fantastic Four" slipped to third. The quirky comedy took in just over $55 million.
