As the child of a Hollywood legend, you'd think they would have the pick of the crop when it comes to landing a top job.
But it seems as though Johnny Depp's son, Jack, 22, has decided to take the more reclusive route of earning money, as it has been revealed that he has been working at a local bar in Paris, as a bartender. Jack is the son of the Pirates Of The Caribbean star and singer Vanessa Paradis and unlike his sister Lily-Rose, he has opted to earn cash far away from the spotlight.
Jack had been working at a well known Lebanese restaurant called L'Area in the French capital's hipster quarter Bastille. The restaurant is hailed for being popular within the music and fashion industry and is also said to be a regular venue for actors including Matt Damon and Matt Dillon.
A recent review of the eatery said: "Excellent! Always a warm welcome and delicious experience at this cosy restaurant. Good food and a wonderful host." And according to the MailOnline, Jack had been working behind the bar and also downstairs in the kitchen making cold and hot mezze.

Jack had worked at the restaurant for two years before leaving a few months ago but it looks as though the owner Edouard Chueke, is expecting him to return to work next year.
Speaking to the publication, Edouard said: "Jack is a great guy; he keeps out of the limelight, but worked here behind the bar and in the kitchen. He was a good employee, he left a few months ago but I expect him back later next year. Good staff are hard to find. I've been running this place for 15 years and it's very popular with the fashion and music crowd, but also film stars come here, and Jack's mum Vanessa Paradis and sister are regulars."
He added: "Lily was mixing caipirinhas behind the bar and really getting into the swing of it, she was enjoying herself." Vanessa and Johnny had always done their best to keep their children out of the glare of the spotlight while growing up, in a bid to enable them to have a normal life.
And during an interview in 2007 with a Belgian publication, she said: "Now I indeed keep them away from the cameras because I don't want our children to be forced to share in our fame against their will. They didn't ask for that. Not yet. The day that they will decide for themselves to do things that might bring them into the spotlights, then I won't stop."
But unlike his sister who has followed in the footsteps of her father in the acting industry, Jack has steered clear. But it looks as though Lily-Rose has been keen to gain her brother's approval. Speaking to Interview magazine, Lily-Rose revealed that she was given the seal of approval by Jack for her latest horror film.
She revealed: "This one in particular was big for me, because my brother and I both were super obsessed with Dracula when we were younger. My brother used to dress up like Dracula when he was a kid for school. I was like 'Wow, if I get this part my brother's going to finally think I'm cool.'"
She added: "It's the classic thing of when you have a younger sibling, they think you are so cool when you're kids, and then when you get older, now I think he's so cool, and I'm like 'Let's hang!' And he's like, 'I'm busy' but yeah I think I got some points with this one." And while Lily-Rose has followed into acting like her father, it looks as though Johnny has been relieved that his son didn't follow suit.
Back in 2014, he Hollywood star said: "My boy, jack, has always been a very talented draftsman. He draws really super well. He also plays music very well. He's got a good feel for that. Aside from school plays and things, he hasn't shown any desire to become an actor. Whew."
