Johnny Depp has reacted angrily to suggestive reports that he has beaten wife French singer Vanessa Paradis.

“For a start we ain’t even married,” said the furious British character actor.

“Secondly – I have never beaten her – I’ve tried, several times, but I just haven’t managed it yet.”

Depp’s denials were confirmed by Vanessa: “We play every night and to be honest he isn’t very good,” said the sweet song bird. “He has got me in check in a few times but can never seal the deal and get a checkmate.”

Depp and Paradis began playing chess together 3 years ago and like to spend long evenings in their French Castle, known as ‘Le Chateaux’, playing the popular game of strategy and cunning.

He even tried to get co-star Orlando Bloom to play on the set of Pirates of Caribbean but the ‘cockney’ Bloom couldn’t remember how all the pieces moved. “Now I should have beat him – with a big stick,” laughed Depp, waving his fist in the air.
