I met Johnny on July 27 in New York City when he appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman. As soon as I heard Johnny was going to appear on the show that night, I walked down to the Disney store on 5th Ave & bought A PotC book for him to sign. I was on vacation, so I didn’t have any of my Johnny photos or posters with me. But it was a great excuse to buy the book! I waited outside the studio for him for 5 hours. I arrived at 12:30 & got a place right across the street from the stage door! There were probably only about 50 people there when I showed up, but by the time he was rumored to arrive (4:00), there were about 500 people. We waited & waited & waited, & finally at 4:20, a black Excursion pulled up & Johnny got out of the car! I was SO excited I almost died right then & there! He was not even 20 feet away from me, just across the street!

He posed for the papparazzi, turned to the crowd & tried to shout over the crowd, “I’ll come back! I promise!” So he went inside & it was time for more waiting. At about 5:30, the NYPD began putting up even MORE blockades, making a sort of half-circle around the building. The car he arrived in was in the center of the circle,

I got to the Odeon at about 12:30 and the place was packed, but finally found a place at the far end of Leicester square, where all the cars drove past. I wasn’t at the front of the barriers, but close enough to reach my hand forward to grab autographs. Orlando was the first ‘celeb’ to come and sign autographs for us, he was great, he was asking everyone how they were. He signed my little book that i had for ‘other celebs’ lol. I got some hilarious shots of him too, some where he’s got his mouth wide open looking at the camera. Anyway, to the man of the hour…I could see Johnny getting closer and closer, omg i have never felt my legs shake so much in all my life, it was freaky. Then he was right in front of me, so i stretched out my hand so he could sign my picture, he actually took hold of my picture to sign it!!!! I just wish i put my hand down lower, so his hand would have touched mine. I shouted Thank you, but i don’t think he heard, the girl infront of me said thank you, and he said you’re welcome, wow, just to hear his voice is amazing. Anyway i also got some really great shots of Johnny, my dad had his camera too and he got some, but our stupid video camera didn’t work. But when i was taking pictures, i made sure i just looked at Johnny and not through the camera lense.

I just got back a while ago from the London DMC premiere. I managed to get front row, and after waiting out in the heat all day, the stars started to arrive about 5.45pm (I think, if my memory serves me correctly!). Keira, Orlando, and Johnny! Keira signed a few autographs then disappeared, we assumed, to talk to the press, but she never came back… Orlando was great, signed loads, I got his autograph and he said to me ‘how you doing, thanks for coming’! And then Johnny! Holy sh*t, I kid you not, that man is even more BEAUTIFUL in the flesh… *sigh* I held out my F&L book and my P cd for him. He signed the book, then looked straight at me and smiled and said ‘Oh, you got the P cd, well done!’ AND HE STROKED THE BACK OF MY HAND! OMG OMG OMG! Johnny TOUCHED ME! And his fingers are so SOFT! And the gold teeth were there, and he had on his purple shades and his favourite *of the moment* hat…. And he was all golden brown and OH MY GOD! I could go on all night but I’d better shut up now! Honestly I’m grinning so much my face is aching! I’m totally more in love with him than ever….

Whew, I’m gonna have to take a breather. OH BUT I also managed to nab one of the cardboard posters they put up on the barriers – it’s HUGE! And gorgeous!

On July 3rd 2006 I went to London for the POTC2 premiere. I arrived there shortly before five am. Originally I’d planned to turn up after seven, but due to the intense heat (and the excitement of the premiere) I’d been unable to sleep that night, so I went a little earlier. I’m very glad I did, as there were already over thirty people there by the time I arrived. I found a spot but ended up moving a few hours later when there was a scare that the barriers weren’t going to be placed there. In the end I landed a great spot just a little to the right from the doors of the Odeon cinema and I only truly relaxed once a barrier was in front of me. I’d managed to score a front row place, which I’d been so determined to do.

The rest of the day was spent waiting in unbearable heat. It was the hottest day of the year, and so warm that the Odeon staff were squirting us all with water to try and help keep us safe. In the mid afternoon, one staff member came over to the group I was standing with and told us “I’ve got some information for you, Mr Depp will be arriving at 5:30” and told us how Johnny would go to the press first, then walk up the red carpet and start signing from the left, which got us all really excited because it truly confirmed that he was really coming (it had been a constant worry of mine that Johnny wouldn’t turn up,

I went from Spain to the premiere! I spent the weekend visiting London and on Monday I went to the premiere. I was so nervous because I can’t believe that I was there and that I was going to see Johnny! When his car arrived and I see him in person for the first time I started to tremble. He started to sign autographs, I had 2 photos, one for me and one for a friend, he signed one photo and continued singing autographs for other people but I touched his arm and he looked at me!! and I said him: “Johnny I’ve come from Spain just to see you” and he looked at me with surprise and said “really? and then I think that he said “thank you very much for coming here” but I’m not sure if that is what he said to me because I was so shocked and impressed that he was talking to me that I can’t remenber very well what he said . Then I gave him the other photo for my friend and he signed it. It was one of the best days in my life!!
Her are some pics that I took:

We arrived around 1pm at Leicester Square and it was already crowded. Things didn’t look that good with us being shoved away three times from perfectly nice spots, but at the end we found a place at the far end of all the action. Luckily in first row, uncomfortable but promising. And we were lucky indeed, since Johnny was one of the few who made it to our end of the Square.
Once he was visibly moving towards us everyone got nuts, though Johnny presence made up for the squishing and shoving. He didn’t stay for long, being already in a hurry, but he took the time to sign anything he could grab, which was quite sweet.
In conclusion I’d say that all the waiting was worth these few seconds – if possible he’s even more gorgeous in person than on screen.

I’m from pheonix, Arizona. My family including my dad, mom and cousin came to California for the premiere. We stayed at the Disney Hotel. On The day of the peremiere My cousin and I woke up at 5:30 we got ready and were at the park at 6. There were tons of people with costumes and posters. I knew this would be a problem cause on a normal day they stop adults and tell them they are not allowed to wear there costumes. So I saw many people being turned around. I was glad I didn’t wear my grand pirate costume. The gates to Disney opened at 6:30. It wasn’t a very busy day.( we are Disney regulars with annual passes). The red carpet curled around town square and down mainstreet. My cousin and I sat down right against the barracades. We sat there for 12 hours! Then we finally stood. Between the barracades and many other anxioux people behind us we were smooshed.For the next hour and a half many famous walked down the carpet. Finally we hear people chanting Keira and then there was chanting for Orlando. As people were getting Blooms signature I saw Johnnys’ hat I started crying right away so did my cousin. Thats when Orlando came by me and put his hand on my should and said ” aww its okay he’ll be here in a minute” he then took my news weekly magazine and signed the back of it. Johnny finally made his way down by us.

A spectacular time was had at the DMC premiere by myself and fellow Zoners Liz, DITHOT, KYWoman, luvdepp, DepplySmitten, Charlene and ZsaZsa. We were camped on two sides of the red carpet at the very start of the carpet and the start of a very long, hot day. Kudos to Disneyland who tried to make the experience as good as it could be under the circumstances.

This truly had to be one of the longest red carpets ever. It stretched from a circular walkway at the park entrance to the end of Main Street. I?m sure that at least a thousand fans camped from dawn till after dark and many more joined us over the course of the day. The crowds surrounding us were overwhelmingly friendly and respectful of one another.

Showtime couldn?t come soon enough, but once it did, it seemed to be over in the blink of an eye. All the supporting cast members?Kevin, MacKenzie, Lee?were very gracious. And Jerry B, Gore, Keira, and Orlando all stopped to chat when they signed autographs. They were all very genuine and genuinely touched by the outpouring of excitement and devotion. Of course, Johnny came last and no one tried harder to cover the carpet. He was calm, charming and very focused on the person in front of him at that moment. The circumstances were unbelievably tough? he moved surrounded by his personal entourage, studio handlers, Disney security, photographers and invited guests who all wanted a piece of him.

Meeting all the celebs was exciting, having never done this sort of thing before, but watching Johnny making his way down the red carpet was surreal. I was very pleased to have been able to see him so close and actually have words with him. I had my beaded danglies that I made him and my Fear and Loathing book all ready to go. When he got to me, I opened the book to where I wanted him to sign and the danglies were laying there in a silk, see-through pouch. I told him I made them for him and he looked through the pouch at them and then looked up at me smiling (with that gorgeous ‘golden’ smile) and said “Ah, swag.” He took them and handed them to an assistant, then thanked me and I asked him to sign my book. While doing that I told him that he did a wonderful thing for Hunter Thompson and his family (referring to the funeral ‘send off’ at Woody Creek) and he said ” He was a good man.” After he signed my book, I thanked him again and he said “Thank you for coming and being here today” , said while his hand was over his heart. All the while he was calm, in the moment and only paying attention to you, making wonderful eye contact *sigh* before moving on. I just stood there and watched (and took pics) as he continued down the red carpet. A moment I won’t soon forget.

My friend and I arrived at 6:30 in the morning. We made a made dash to score our spot on Main Street in front of the train station. It was a sweet
spot because none of the cast would have to deal with interviews (the cameras were further up)

We met some terrific people, we played Pirates Monopoly and just chilled (or sweated to be more accurate) until 5pm. The big moment finally arrived (for
me) when Orlando stepped onto the red carpet. I made a vow to myself if I could only get one autograph it would be his. He made his way over, first
he signed my book, then he headed to the other side. He came BACK to our side, I called out “Orlando!” He looked over, smiled and asked how I was. I
said fine. He saw my camera out, took it, and leaned in to snap a picture with me. I made sure to rest my hand on his shoulder.

Then Johnny made his way down surrounded by cameras. The girl behind me was a Johnny fan, she kept shoving me into the barricade. I tried pushing her
back, but she kept fighting with me. I yelled out I couldn’t breathe, so by the time Johnny got in front of me, I wanted to cry and I wasn’t sure what
was going on. I know he was right there, and I couldn’t get a good clear shot of him due to hands,
