Johnny Depp’s son, Jack, was spotted on two strolls around Paris over the holidays, rare outings for the private 22-year-old. The photos, which were obtained by the Daily Mail and released on Thursday, January 2, show the former bartender bundled up and on the move on Christmas Eve. The next day, Christmas, he carried three enormous shopping bags as he made his way to the family home. He wore an olive green jacket on Christmas Eve and a khaki coat on Christmas Day — sporting the same beanie in both shots.
Unlike his sister, Lily-Rose Depp, 25, who is on the press circuit now for her gothic film Nosferatu, Jack has mostly stayed out of the public eye in favor of a more private life in Paris. Both siblings were born just west of the capital city to French actress Vanessa Paradis, who was with Depp for 14 years before they broke up in 2012.

Until recently, Jack (full name: John Jack Christopher Depp III) was a bartender at L’Area, a Lebanese restaurant near the Bastille. Owner Edouard Chueke told the Daily Mail in December that Jack tended bar and pulled shifts in the downstairs kitchen for four years before leaving a few months prior. Actors Matt Damon and Matt Dillon have been spotted at the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Lily-Rose has credited her little brother for her interest in her current smash hit vampire project, Nosferatu. After admitting that as kids, the two loved the Meet Dracula episode of the “Meet the Monsters” film series, she told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show in December, “My brother was, like, 3 or 4 at the time and he started dressing up like Dracula…When I got the opportunity to audition for this movie, I thought, like, you know, ‘How full circle, and maybe I’ll get some cool points with my bro.'”
