Hollywood heart-throb Johnny Depp has issued a chilling warning to paparazzi who photograph his children - stay away or "I'll bite your nose off!"
The Edward Scissorhands star lives a quiet life in France with his long-term love Vanessa Paradis and their children Jack, two, and Lily-Rose, five.
While Depp doesn't mind if snappers catch him on camera, he is fiercely protective of his young tots.
Depp says: "I'm warning the paparazzi, 'if you're going to get me have a long lens and make sure you're really far away because if I get my hands on you it could get ugly.'
"I don't care if they take my photo - although I don't know why anyone needs another picture of me. I don't care if they Vanessa's photo, but when they take care of my kids, that I can't support.
"If I catch them I'll bite their noses off and swallow it."
