Depp hints at engagement

Johnny Depp has appeared to confirm his engagement.

The 50-year-old actor laughed and showed off a diamond on his ring finger when quizzed as to whether he and girlfriend Amber Heard are planning to marry.

Asked if they are engaged, Depp lifted his hand to show the ring and said: "The fact that I'm wearing a chick's ring on my finger is probably a dead giveaway. Not very subtle."

However, the star - who has children Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11, with ex-partner Vanessa Paradis - will be leaving planning their nuptials to the 27-year-old actress.

Speaking in Beijing during a promotional tour for his new movie Transcendence, Depp said: "I think that I would be better at making women's shoes than I would be at wedding planning, I can't plan anything. I'm really bad at that stuff."

Depp and Heard were first reported to be engaged in January, and it has been claimed the actor proposed to his Rum Diary co-star just before Christmas.

"It happened on Christmas Eve," a source revealed.

"Amber really took her time to make up her mind. She turned him down before ... before she said yes. So she waited and was thinking about it for a long time."
