Johnny and his partner Vanessa Paradis own their own Caribbean retreat - which they've named 'F**k Off Island'. (edit) In 2008, Johnny was approached to become the "face" of Trojan condoms. As of April 2008, Johnny had not decided to agree to the position or not. (edit) Johnny commercially promotes 'Trojan Condoms'. The slogan for the campaign is "Stand up with Johnny for safer sex." (edit) Johnny, along with Jude Law and Colin Farrell, will replace the late actor Heath Ledger in his last unfinished film The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus (edit) Johnny invited the nurse who treated his daughter for her illness to the London premiere of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (edit)

Johnny: (revealing every moment with his daughter is precious after the health scare that almost killed her) Now every single millisecond is a mini-celebration. Every time we get to breathe in and exhale is a huge victory. She pulled through beautifully, perfectly, with no lasting anything. To say it was the darkest moment, that's nothing. It doesn't come close to describing it. Words are so small. (edit) Johnny: If you catch me saying 'I am a serious actor,' I beg you to slap me. (edit) Johnny: In some sense there is a monofilament running through the guys I've played. They are outsiders. They're people that society says aren't normal, and I think you have to stand up for people like that. (edit) Johnny: (On fatherhood) I used to go through the world, thinking I was seeing things clearly, but I was kind of stumbling and viewing events through a haze, like a gauze or something. Then the instant my baby was born, I looked at her and immediately, instantly, everything came into a sharp focus. I looked at her, this pure little angel, that I was just meeting for the first time, and I realized I had known her for 10,000 years. There willl never be anyone that will know me better, that will understand me just by a look. I know I will never be closer to another human being. She hasn't changed my life, she's given me my life, in the sense that everything now has a reason. I used to think I was happy, that there were things in my life that would make me smile, but the biggest difference is that now I can feel my smile, it's all connected. (edit) Johnny: People say I make strange choices, but they're not strange for me. My sickness is that I'm fascinated by human behavior, by what's underneath the surface, by the worlds inside people. (edit)
