Johnny Depp’s Partner Vanessa Paradis Wants Him To Quit Movie With Angelina Jolie

johnny depp-vanessa paradis[HMG] – To some, Angelina Jolie is a sexual temptress, able to charm any man she might want. Her charms left both Laura Dern and Jennifer Aniston single, and now Johnny Depp’s lady fears she might be next.

As part of their new movie, ‘The Tourist’ Johnny and Angelina are supposed to engage in a passionate love scene. But when Johnny’s long-term love, Vanessa Paradis read the script she almost went postal and demanded he quit.

“He’s currently trying to get out of the movie,” an insider tells the Post. “I don’t know if he’ll succeed, but he’s trying. They’re talking about replacing him with Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio.”

But filming started last month, and so far Johnny is still in the cast — He and Angie were even spied together on Tuesday, during a break in filming at the Pisani Moretta, a glorious 15th century Gothic palace on Venice’s Grand Canal.

The story casts Johnny as an innocent tourist who meets Elise [Jolie] while exploring the grandeur of Venice. But Elise in an Interpol agent and their meet was a trap. She then seduces the tourist to help track down a criminal she’d known in the past.

And you can see why Vanessa might have some fears: In 2005, Angie made ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ with Brad Pitt. By the time it was over Jennifer Aniston was single. And in 1996, Angie stole Billy Bob Thornton’ from Laura Dern – while they were engaged.

Vanessa has 12-years of history and two children with Johnny, and this looks like some trouble.

Reps for Angie and Johnny are making no comment on whether Johnny might leave. And the studio — Columbia – is also staying quiet.

Personally I think Angie’s been taking lessons from her partner’s old flame — Leak a sex-related story and get loads of lovely free press for your film. If I were you, Jenn, I’d probably sue.

If there are changes in casting we’ll bring you the news…
