Johnny Depp may wow millions of cinemagoers with his role in the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy, but his children still prefer Spider-Man.

The Hollywood hunk, who plays Captain Jack Sparrow in the swashbuckling franchise, has two children - Lily-Rose, seven; and Jack, five; - and they are more interested in box office rival Spider-Man than their dad's films.

He says, "I'd get in and say (in Jack Sparrow voice) 'All right kids, everything all right?' And they'd say, 'Dad, come on, I'm watching Spider-Man.'"

"Oh man, Spider-Man. My boy has gone into that full-on superhero phase. But I refuse to wear the tights."
