Vanessa Paradis raunchy video

Former pop star Vanessa Paradis is disgusted by a film of herself performing as a provocatively dressed teenager.

The French star - the long-term partner of actor Johnny Depp - admits she has only recently seen footage of her singing the 1987 track Joe Le Taxi.

In the clip, - which has been viewed by almost 330,000 visitors to video-sharing website YouTube.com - Paradis is seen wearing a short, tight skirt and dancing provocatively.

But she is now full of regret over the stunt.

She says, "I wish someone had advised me. I've seen quite recently some clips from when I was 14 and I'm not proud of it. I look at the way I was dressed and made up and the way I would dance and I just want to say: 'Euugh. Stop it!

"I was going to school and I had the 'Joe le Taxi' song out that was making me trouble all over the world. It's not easy to grow up, but to grow up famous, it's worse. In France it became a really big phenomenon and it was very casual, this torturing of a child. It was happening to me every day - relentless."
