The 47-year-old actor - who has previously been voted Hat Person of the Year - is known for his love of headwear but his long-term partner is furious with how out-of-control his accessories collection has become.

A source said: "He has hundreds of hats - two rooms in their Paris apartment packed with them.

"Vanessa wants some closet room but Johnny`s hats are taking up too much space. She told him point-blank, `Johnny, you get those hats out of here or when you`re gone, I`m going to throw them all in the trash. `

"He was horrified. He loves his hats and he is constantly buying more."

Vanessa`s ultimatum came after her partner - with who she has children Lily-Rose, 11, and eight-year-old Jack - came home with a hat he`d bought from a homeless person - and the star has now agreed to find somewhere else to store his headwear.

The insider added to National Enquirer magazine: "That was the last straw. Vanessa was livid. She told Johnny he has until the end of the year to clear out the hats.

"But he`s way too fond of them, so he`ll move the bulk of the hats to one of their other homes."
