I took a friend of mine to the Premiere last night as she is a huge JD fan, here is a report I posted elsewhere.
Well, we went and we saw!!
We hung around as long as possible outside hoping he would arrive and then we could follow on BUT 6.29 came and the tix said we had to be seated by 6.30 so we went in.
We did see Christopher Lee arrive and McKenzie Crook (Wooden eye guy in POTC)
We took our seats and they had live coverage on the screen of what was going on outside, which was of course Johnny and Kate arriving and signing autographs for hours (it seemed!) then being interviewed in the foyer.
I was a little despondent by then cos I knew they would be sitting in the circle and I thought my friend wasn’t going to get a glimpse of him . However, there was lots of excitement from the rear and I looked around and in the far back corner on OUR side was JD and everybody lurking. We were 6 seats in from that side and roughly in the middle rows. Cat Deeley (Brit presenter) came on the stage and introduced Miramax boss Harvey Wotsit, who in turn introduced the Director who in turn introduced all the stars. By this time, the stars had moved down the side and stood waiting to be introduced during the speeches and guess who stood at the end of our row!!??
Yep by special arrangement JD stood for ages so my pal could get a mega eyeful They called all the stars one by one onto the stage and Kate and Johnny were met by great cheers.
They then trooped off and the film began.
It was a lovely film, not for cynics perhaps but the filming and acting was superb and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house by the end. The young kids were very good not at all Hollywood Brat types and Kate reprised her “damp deathbed bit” (Hey, if you can do it well, stick with it!)
We had a lovely night out and although I don’t think I am Truly, Madly Depply in love eith him like my pal he is a great actor and certainly looked very nice in the *flesh* (especially as he didn’t have that awful droopy hair!)
