I wanted to share mine and kpnuts meeting with Johnny yesterday.

We had tried 6 times before to meet with him at Pinewood Studios and again at the Finding Neverland premiere. Yesterday was 7th time lucky!

We arrived at Pinewood at 5pm and went to the Timekeepers Office where we were told that Vanessa had been seen that morning but they weren’t sure if Johnny was still there. We decided to wait anyway and at about 6.30 one of the chaps I had spoken to on the Tuesday evening came over to tell us that he had found out that Johnny WAS still at the Studios and was having a drink in his trailer. He said if you wait you will see him – wave your arms about when you see his car.

It was a very cold evening and the security guys were kind and let us warm ourselves up in their office – we took it in turns – and they also made us cups of tea.

Anyway, around 8.45 we saw what we thought was Johnny’s car and I fumbled to get the poster I had with me to ask him to stop. However, he must have seen us because suddenly the car came to a halt next to us – a guy in the passenger seat got out and then there was Johnny emerging from the back seat.

Just a couple of things about our wonderful encounter with Johnny at Pinewood yesterday…
The book I gave him was an autobiography of Jack Kerouac, author of *On the Road”. I know this is one of Johnny’s favourite books, so I thought he’d like it.

When he signed my pic, and I asked him to put “To Karen”, he said “So you’re Karen?” I’d dropped off a bottle of wine last Thursday, together with a letter, so I guess this is where I got the name from. I have also, via a contact in the production office, passed on a letter concerning the Birthday Project. I have been assured by the same contactthat this has been passed to Johnny via his assistant.

All I can say is that it was a wonderful experience meeting Johnny. It still hasn’t sunk in. He is just so mellow, and genuine, and to see him actually in the flesh was unbelievable.

OK everyone, heres the latest story! Right, what I need to make clear
from the start is that Jerry (Johnnys security) told us they didnt
want any more people to be hanging around outside Pinewood as it was
getting too cold. He’s right, it was freezing last night.. Johnny
only has a few days left anyway now..

OK, I arrived at PW at about 5.30pm. Janine was already there,
standing with 3 other people, including a 12 year old boy called Joe
who was holding up a Jack picture 🙂 The security guys were being
really chatty and friendly with us. They told us what car Johnny was
in and ven made us cups of tea and coffee as we were so cold. Lisa
literally flew from London to Bucks in record time get there. She
arrived at about 7.10pm. I chatted to Mos for a bit and then went to
stand back outside and wait.

It was about 8.05pm when the car finally appeared. I knew it was his
straight away and moved forward. I saw Jerry sat inside and must have
had a pleading look on my face! Jerry pointed to the side of the road
and told us to move back. Then the car stopped, Jerry got out, opened
the back door and Johnny got out too!!

I got to Pinewood at about 5pm. There were 2 ladies and a young boy who’d been there since lunchtime. I just happened to walk down towards the security office, normally I’d wait at the end of the road, off the property as that’s what I’d been told to do previously. Luckily I decided to go and say hi to the security guys or I’d have missed out possibly. Anyway, Jo and Lisa got there after work and we waited in the absolute freezing cold.

Just around 8pm we saw Johnny’s car approach and we waved to it and it slowed down and stopped. Jerry, Johnny’s security guy got out first and then Johnny got out. I couldn’t believe I was finally going to meet him like this after so many disappointments. We’d been given teas and coffees by the security guards only minutes before he came out and we were all holding them. Jo and Lisa went to put theirs down but I waited so I was actually in the front when he came towards us. I was conscious though that the other people had been waiting longer than us that night so I said they should go first. Lisa just looked at me and gave me the biggest hug.

They chatted to Johnny for a while and I heard him say he had to grow his beard for POTC2 and that it takes him about 3 months to grow –

Appearing at the Venice Film Festival, Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet are in town to promote their new film Finding Neverland. Johnny’s starring role as JM Barrie required him to study with a dialect coach from a Scottish family – “It [ the Scottish accent] was one that was really far away from me, in terms of my ear. I couldn’t quite hear it initially so I just studied and studied and studied,” said Depp. He added, “I tend to approach that kind of thing as a musician. I learned how to play by ear and I couldn’t find the music initially.”

How to explain the day when a dream comes true?

i’m sure Johnny Depp fans can imagine what they would feel in touching what they believed was impossible to happen…but i’m really stunned and confused by what i felt…i discovered i was completely different and i acted in a different way from what i thought it would be…
i’ll try to be clearer: the 4th september… i did everything to be there that day in venice (people of the festival changed the dates, the tickets firts weren’t there, i “tortured” a friend of mine whose only fault is that of living in Venice…)…and after all this…finally, i had the tickets, i had the hotel reservation, i made plans of meeting with my friends…everything was ok!
but i didn’t deal with myself…i knew that the 4th september was for me a particular date,even if i had tried to forget it…it was the anniversary of the day when i met capitain Jack Sparrow for the first time, and i fell in love with him from the very first time i saw him!
Ok, ok, i know i’m not the only one… but i owe that pirate more than my passion, more than the fact that he made it possible for me to find lots of special girls in the italian fanclub…i owe him my rebirth!
