Johnny Depp is engaged

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, Johnny Depp confirmed his engagement rumours to Amber Heard when he showed off a diamond engagement ring he wore on his finger on Monday, while promoting his latest movie “Transcendence” in Beijing, China.

Depp joyfully shared this good news with the Associated Press when he said, “"The fact that I'm wearing a chick's ring on my finger is probably a dead giveaway. Not very subtle."

His comments finally ended his engagement rumours that has been flying all over the media for months.

Depp, 50 and Heard, 27, hit it off when they both starred together in “The Rum Diary” which was filmed in Puerto Rico in 2009.

When asked about their wedding plans, Depp said, "I think that I would be better at making women's shoes than I would be at wedding planning, I can't plan anything. I'm really bad at that stuff."

Depp was married to Lori Anne Allison from 1983 to 1985 and had a series of engagements to actresses - Jennifer Grey, Sherilyn Fenn and Winona Ryder.

After his serious four-year relationship with British waif supermodel Kate Moss failed, Depp began a relationship with Vanessa Paradis, a French actor, singer and model.

Depp has two children with Paradis – a daughter by the name Lily-Rose Depp and a son named John Jack Christopher Depp. In 2012, Depp and Paradis call it quits, after 12 years of relationship.

China became the only international stop for this award winning actor as part of the movie’s promotional tour.

This illustrates the growing attention Hollywood is paying for China, seeing that it has now became the world’s second-biggest box office after the United States.

In this sci-fi drama, “Transcendence”, Depp plays a scientist on his death bed, who downloads his mind into a computer. Rebecca Hall and Morgan Freeman co-star this movie.

In view of his latest movie, Depp said,"It's one of those films that one person is forced to make a choice in an instant, when your loved one is dying and you have a split-second decision if you have the ability to upload their consciousness into a computer, would you do that? It's quite a strange decision to make but for love I think we would all do it."

"Transcendence" premiers April 18, in China the same day as the US release. China is the only country currently where "Transcendence" will be showing in 3-D — a format popular with Chinese audiences.
