Could we be living among a movie star?

A website has revealed Johnny Depp is moving to Scunthorpe - but sadly it's a parody.

News Now 11 describes itself as a satirical and fantasy website and the town has become one of its latest subjects.

An article posted on the site claims Depp revealed in an interview that he is moving to Scunthorpe because he is "tired of the L.A. lifestyle".

It quotes Depp as saying: "I’m just tired of the L.A. lifestyle and I feel like, at this point in my life, I’d rather just live in a place full of real, genuine people. I've been to Scunthorpe, England, a couple of times over the years and the people there are real… they’re genuine, and yeah every community has its problems but the people there are good, decent people and they care about their community. Those are the things I find most important in deciding where to live.

"I’m not retiring, I’m just looking for a change in life and I think I've found that in Scunthorpe."
