Hollywood actor Johnny Depp is reportedly taking a break from acting until his daughter is well again.

Depp, 43, has been in Britain filming his latest movie Sweeney Todd.

Staff on the set of the new film are expected to be rehired once the seven-year-old is fully fit again

But the production at Pinewood Studios has been on hold since the actor's daughter Lily-Rose was admitted to a London hospital earlier this month.

A newspaper claimed to know the details of the little girl's condition but have kept the details secret to protect the family's privacy.

Staff on the set of the new film are expected to be re-hired once the seven-year-old is fully fit again.

The movie is directed by Tim Burton and also stars Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman.
