Los Angeles - Vanessa Paradis is "intimidated" by the red carpet.

The French singer says she and partner Johnny Depp deliberately shun the showbiz lifestyle and she feels uncomfortable when forced to attend glamorous events or socialise with other celebrities.

"The red carpet is not something I really know how to work. It intimidates me. I feel very tiny," she admitted.

"I don't have famous neighbours and if I did, I'd avoid them. I don't live the jet-set.

"I'm really lucky. I do stay in wonderful houses, hotels and that's amazing, but we're not very sociable at all. We don't go to parties or premieres."

Vanessa, 35 - who has been dating the Pirates of the Caribbean star for 10 years - also revealed she isn't sure she could treat another man as well as she treats Johnny.

"Maybe I'm a good girlfriend because I'm his girlfriend. I'm not sure I'd be a good girlfriend to anyone else," she added to Elle magazine.

Vanessa and Johnny, 44, have two children: Nine-year-old Lily Rose and Jack, six. - Bang Showbiz.com
