Johnny Depp moves to Sussex: Pirates of the Caribbean star snaps up large house after living in the county during Covid in guitarist Jeff Beck's 16th century cottage
EXCLUSIVE Johnny Depp moves to Sussex: Pirates of the Caribbean star snaps up large house after living in the county during Covid in guitarist Jeff Beck's 16th century cottage He cuts the most bohemian of figures. But it can be revealed that Johnny Depp has joined the gin-and-jag set by putting down roots in the Home Counties, snapping up a large house in the Sussex countryside, near the border with Kent. He was chauffeured from there to the premiere of his new film, Modigliani: Three Days On The Wing Of Madness, last week, which is why he reportedly was a little late. Two years ago, there were reports – which proved inaccurate – suggesting the Anglophile actor had moved to Somerset. In fact, he was holed up in London, in a Soho townhouse and art studio, where he lived for a couple of years. The Daily Mail's Alison Boshoff reported in July last year and recently-published interviews with Depp were indeed conducted in Soho. However, for reasons of peace, privacy and security he's now decided to move out to the country, just like his late best friend, the guitarist Jeff Beck, it can be revealed today. Johnny Depp has decided to move out to the English countryside, just like his late best friend, the guitarist Jeff Beck Jeff Beck under a wisteria in his beautiful Sussex walled garden. The guitar hero supported the local wildlife rescue charity and would be seen chatting to locals and even pottering around the Co-op supermarket Beck lived in a 16th-century farmhouse in Wadhurst, Sussex; and Depp stayed with him during the Covid pandemic. A friend said Depp said he was 'in the English sticks', which he described as 'very beautiful and wet'. Depp has a huge house in the south of France, where he and ex-partner Vanessa Paradis largely raised their children Lily-Rose and Jack; and a Caribbean island, Little Hall's Pond Cay, where he tied the knot with Amber Heard in February 2015. That relationship unravelled just two years later, and after the divorce came two legal battles over allegations of domestic abuse. Depp lost the libel action which he brought at the UK High Court in 2020, after being called a 'wife beater', but successfully brought a libel action against Heard in a US court in 2022. Depp told the High Court in 2020 he'd lost $650million of the money he made at the peak of his Pirates Of The Caribbean fame, and was left owing $100million in taxes, on account of managers he accused of stealing from him. But friends say, despite unhappy memories of his British court case, Depp feels at home here. Key members of his team, including the CEO of his UK production company, Stephen Deuters, are based here. Depp seems to enjoy East Sussex, and has been spotted at The Middle House pub and hotel in Mayfield. He's also taken a tour of the Folly Wildlife Rescue animal centre in Kent, of which Beck was patron, and was pictured cradling an orphaned badger named Freddie Mercury. Depp was devastated by Beck's sudden death from bacterial meningitis in January 2023. Johnny was reportedly at his bedside. He and the guitarist's widow Sandra gave him a 'green burial' in the grounds of his house in Sussex. And it is perhaps no surprise that Depp is drawn to settling there himself. Johnny may even take a leaf out of his old friend's quieter life as a country gent. Beck supported the local wildlife rescue charity and would be seen chatting to locals and even pottering around the Co-op supermarket - though, of course, villagers said some 'absurdly gorgeous classic car' would be parked wherever he went. Depp gave an interview to Hollywood Authentic where he said: 'There's a couple who very much helped to keep me alive and sane and happy through the weirdness. And that's Jeff and Sandra [Beck's wife]' Beck lived in Wadhurst in East Sussex, which has repeatedly been named as the overall best place to live in the UK. Depp lived there with his friend during the pandemic When he wasn't recording in his home studio, or touring the world and playing his iconic music to thousands of adoring fans, Beck would even write the occasional letter to Wealden Council. Only his friend Johnny Depp would raise eyebrows in the community, with a taxi driver who once picked up the Hollywood star near Beck's place in Wadhurst - where they had been jamming - telling BBC journalist Victoria Valentine that the actor's 'jangly necklaces' were 'a bit unusual in rural Sussex'. The pair first met in 2016 and began recording the album in 2019 while Depp was also playing with Alice Cooper's supergroup Hollywood Vampires. In 2022 Beck released a full length album, titled 18, with Depp and the pair played a number of live gigs together. Depp gave an interview to Hollywood Authentic where he said: 'There's a couple who very much helped to keep me alive and sane and happy through the weirdness. And that's Jeff and Sandra [Beck's wife]'. Beck, regarded as one of rock's greatest ever guitarists, was ranked fifth in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the '100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time'. His extraordinary career saw him share the stage with some of music's biggest names – and produce an album as well as touring with Depp in 2022.

Jeff Beck's Album Finally Hits The Top 40, Half A Century After Its Release
Jeff Beck's Truth debuts on the Official Vinyl Albums chart at No. 37 as a vinyl bestseller decades ... More after its 1968 release, following a colorful reissue. LONDON, ENGLAND - NOVEMBER 09: Jeff Beck performs during the NFL week 10 match between the Jackson Jaguars and the Dallas Cowboys at Wembley Stadium on November 9, 2014 in London, England. (Photo by) Jeff Beck accomplished so much during his decades-long musical career. After first finding fame and success as a member of the Yardbirds, he broke out on his own and began pushing the boundaries of what guitarists could do, both as part of various groups and as a solo superstar. More than two years after the celebrated musician's passing, one of Beck's earliest albums under his own name has finally become a top 40 bestseller and returned to multiple rankings in his home country. Jeff Beck's Truth Becomes a Vinyl Bestseller Beck's debut solo project Truth launches on the Official Vinyl Albums chart this week, becoming a bestseller on the format for the first time since the Official Charts Company began publishing the specific tally. Truth opens at No. 37 this frame. Jeff Beck's Solo Albums Have All Reached the Top 40 Beck has only ever placed a trio of projects on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, and as Truth arrives, he ensures that all of them have reached the top 40. He first cracked the region with Loud Hailer, which rose to No. 36. Just three years ago, he was joined by his friend Johnny Depp on 18, which brought him to a new career high of No. 32. Vinyl Reissues Make Truth a Collectible Parlophone recently reissued both of Beck's first two solo albums on colorful vinyl, turning them into collectibles. Truth, which originally arrived in 1968, and Beck-Ola, which followed in 1969, were offered for sale on orange and white vinyl, respectively. Only the former becomes a charting win at the moment. Truth Returns to Other Official Rankings As Truth debuts on the Official Vinyl Albums ranking, it also returns to both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales charts at Nos. 83 and 91, respectively. The set hasn't been seen on either of those lists since January 2023, when there was a surge in consumption of Beck's music following his death.

Richmond telehealth company AnswersNow wins big industry award
Richmond virtual behavioral therapy company AnswersNow Inc. was recently named the world's best telehealth platform at the MedTech Breakthrough Awards. The Los Angeles group annually hands out awards to companies, products and people in the medical tech, digital health and fitness spaces, including those working in medical devices, internet of things, electronic health records and more. The group of 141 winners for 2025 was judged from a pool of more than 4,500 nominations. AnswersNow pairs families with behavioral health clinicians specializing in autism on its proprietary platform. The clinicians provide applied behavior analysis, which is often used to teach new behaviors or diminish behaviors associated with autism. It is also used in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and other developmental disabilities. The company utilizes telehealth technology to meet patients where they are and at more convenient times. That, it says, makes care more accessible and affordable. 'Traditional autism care in America is past its breaking point and families deserve better,' AnswersNow CEO Jeff Beck said in a statement. 'This recognition is an important validation of our team's collective effort and the undeniable evidence that virtual ABA therapy helps learners everywhere lead more fulfilling lives.' AnswersNow recently made a series of executive hires with an eye on expansion in 2025. Beck told me March the company would likely go to market in the third or fourth quarter to raise more money. AnswersNow has raised roughly $12.5 million to since its founding in 2017, according to Crunchbase, including an $11 million Series A round in 2023 led by New York's Left Lane Capital. Beck told me the company, which employs a total of 154, has tripled revenue each year since 2022. He declined to give exact figures. Today, AnswersNow is serving Medicaid and commercial clients in Virginia, Texas and Georgia.
