Oscars 2001: Johnny Out of his Depp in Chocolat

Hollywood star Johnny Depp revealed he had to eat so much chocolate for his latest film that he'll never touch it again.

The drama - Chocolat - has been nominated for five Oscars, but Depp said: "If I had any love for chocolate, it was destroyed during the filming of that movie.

"It was kind of rich, dark and very bitter chocolate. "After about seven of them it tends to not have a nice effect." The 37-year-old said he had to keep eating the chocolate as director Lasse Hallstrom shot and re-shot many scenes.

Going into filming, Depp admitted he had a sweet tooth and was looking forward to feasting on the finest chocolates Miramax Films could buy. But things soon changed for Depp, who now lives in France with girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and daughter Lily-Rose Melody.

The film, which is up for Best Picture award at the Oscars on March 25, features Depp as a riverboat gypsy who falls for French chocolate chef Juliette Binoche.
