Johnny Depp: ‘Leave Kate Moss And Pete Doherty Alone’

May 18th, 2007

Johnny Depp has urged the British press to stop hounding his former girlfriend Kate Moss and her new lover Pete Doherty - because they are “great together”. The Pirates Of The Caribbean star - who dated the supermodel in the mid-1990s - admits he wasn’t a good influence on her, but insists she and the troubled Babyshambles rocker are a good match.

He says, “I was not good for Kate. But she’s a strong girl and a great girl and very smart.

“Dragging her through the mud like that - they (the newspapers) are weird and two-faced. Let her be! I have never met Pete Doherty, but I think he has talent and he and Kate could be great together. She’s got a great brain on her and she’s a great mommy.”

Moss is mother to four-year-old Lila Grace, whose father is media mogul Jefferson Hack.
