Ivy is one lucky girl who managed to meet Johnny thanks to the Make-a-Wish foundation. This is probably the most amazing experience you have ever read of a fan getting to meet an actor and to spend the whole day with him, and for this reason you should take your time and read in thoroughly.

“I am 15 years old and have a disease called Cystic Fibrosis. Although this disease is considered potentially fatal, I am VERY healthy. I’m sure that as far as this disease is concerned, I’ll live a very long and happy life. I am pretty open about it, so if you have any questions about it, feel free to ask, or you can visit www.cff.org

The disease mostly affects the lungs and stomach, but puts a heavy strain on all of the organs. Of course for every patient it varies a little. As I said, I am very healthy, as I ran on our cross country team, beginning track, and even play the flute. I take pills whenever I eat, and do a daily treatment. Beside a few other pills including vitamins and whatnot, that is about it.

Throught the Make-A-Wish Foundation (www.wish.org) I was offered a wish. My first idea of a wish was to go on a Disney cruise. It had never crossed my mind to meet Johnny! lol : ) The cruise didn’t quite pan out,

The stars were out Saturday nite in Manhattan despite the heavy clouds and ominous threats of rain. The night was about raising money for The Actors Fund , it was called That?s Entertainment and was held at the magnificent Waldorf Astoria.

The guest list was prestigious to say the least, including, Angela Lansbury, who accepted a Lifetime Acheivement Award. Bernadette Peters, Christina Ebersol and Robin Strasser among others, but the night belonged to Johnny Depp.

I had butterflies in my stomach for days before I actually set foot in the Waldorf Astoria that night. My dream to actually see Johnny in person was about to come true. I never in a million years expected to actually get to meet him, speak to him, get photos of my own or see myself with him on the internet.

There was Security everywhere. Men in suits with ear phones in their ears. Just like the secret service. You couldn?t go here, or there.

The photographers were already in “photo mode” as the honored guests were presented to them. Flashbulbs crackled, as star after star was ushered by. No one seemed to notice or mind that my husband, Dean and I were among them. Suddenly, I was being pushed aside as I heard one say to the other, “Who is that woman?” the other replied, “I don?t know man, but leave her alone, she was here first.” I stood my ground for awhile and got some great shots.

Hello! sorry this is late…I got home very late Sunday morning from NYC and had to work yesterday. I know how much I look forward to and appreciate those of you who share your encounter stories here. I hope I don’t disappoint anyone with mine.
Sam did an excellent job of describing the general feel of the events.
You definitely need “courage and fortitude” and a strong faith in your intuition for these things. I’m so glad we went, and stuck it out though.
OK, I’ll just start……….

We were aware that Johnnys limo was waiting on the street, so we figured that as long as that limo was waiting for him…so were we! lol!
Around 12:30- 1:00 am…the limo suddenly started up and screeched down the street, past us…and into the parking garage.
There were shouts of “Oh Sh*t” from some cars parked on the street, that had been full of Autograph hounds as they must have been caught off guard and had to scramble for their pics and cameras….that was pretty funny.
Everyone took off running for the garage…..Sam, Michael and I were separated and went in different directions once inside the garage. I kind of lost them once we were inside. It was well lit, but eerie, as I did’nt see many people. I had just gotten there myself, I guess I was one of the first in,

Hi fans,

I?m back from outside the waldorf? and so, so tired but I?m going to try to post.

It was a long day of waiting, w/fellow zoner paperrose and her husband but Johnny finally emerged. MYSELF, I?ll just start? only got glimpses of him. Only flashes. Close flashes? flashes that wow, flashes that stop the heart but flashes. HOWEVER, papperose has a GREAT story to tell. But I will let her tell it. It was a precious moment in a sea of chaos. Perfect? and hers and SO deserved.

The crush of autograph hounds ? descending on Johnny was like nothing I?d ever seen. Even a couple of the autograph hounds, themselves, were commenting, saying they?d never seen anything that ?vicious? (with him)? and that?s saying something. And by vicious? they meant the force of the siege. To clarify, people were NOT nasty with him?they were, however, hungry and devouring? and relentless. And, to me, this is always frightening.

But Johnny? Johnny was this calm force at the center of it all. I?ve been lucky enough to see him before? and this is what I remember so clearly? his calm, grace, fluid movement? somehow moving w/such control as the world around him breaks open, clanging and crushing, disorienting. The juxtaposition of his energy, to that of the crowd, is? startling. It startled me again.

Tonight, it was a crush right onto him?. a moving mass of bodies, pounding closer and tighter as he tried to move through the them.

to recap, our seats were in the balcony section, above the main floor (my friend was very pissed, since one of the organizers had indicated to her that our seats had been moved downstairs (long story)). In any case, as luck would have it, our table was directly above Johnny’s – we could see his every move in that room the entire evening – we could see what he was drinking, talking to Tracey & Christie, the whole 9 yards. In the beginning of the evening, the presented the first 2 awards – the 2nd being the award to Angela Landsbury, then there was a break as they were serving dinner. We saw Johnny getting up from his table, and my friend went tearassing downstairs (didn’t even wait for me to get the picture for my daughter to bring for an autograph!), and I followed rather quickly behind. We made our way through the light crowd on the dancefloor, to discover Johnny congratulating Angela – I was a little afraid that she was going to interrupt their conversation, which obviously would not have been a good thing – we were both just caught up in the excitement that he was actually that accessible! After his conversation with Angela, he had a short conversation with Bernadette Peters – and then the moment was ours. She presented Johnny with a letter, requesting that he please read it, which he said he would, thanked her and said “Bless you!”. I then told Johnny what huge fans my 6 year old daughter &

So I did manage to speak to JOhnny at the after party. I snuck up to him
when the security wasn’t around & Vanessa was standing next to him. Said
hi, how brilliant I thought he was in the film, mentioned pinewood & asked
if he rememebred me lol. It went really quickly & I don’t have a pic with/autograph
(we were told we weren’t allowed & that if we tried it’d get embarrasing).
But I got the eye contact and got to touch his lovely hand again. Having
Vanessa looking at me as well as Johnny was very odd lol.
The security was way over-the-top. Much worse than when I’ve been inside
other things like this. And you were really lucky if you got to speak to
him. It had to be either just before everyone took their seats, like me,
or afterwards if you were lucky enought to catch him before getting in the
car to leave (Jo & Lisa). Janine also managed to meet him before he left
during the meal 🙂

Here are a few pics I took. They’re not the greatest but it’s something.

Oh and of course Johnny was very, very good in the film 🙂 But I hate to
say it – I don’t think he’ll win the Oscar. Kate’s character has to show
more range &

I got up Sunday morning and headed off to work. I’d lied to my boss to get out of work early told them I had a family occasion to attend. They bought it and I left work at 1:00pm. I immediately shot off to London being as how I live about 1/2 hour away.

I arrived in Leicester Square to see there were already hundreds of people waiting outside the Odeon. My friend and I found a decent spot outside Garfunkels and waited for 4 hours. Finally at around 6:45 an Audi with blacked out windows pulled up next to the red carpet. Three people got out of the car, and a couple of them made their way down the red carpet. There was a long pause and the back door opened. Out stepped Johnny Depp in a black suit, grey waistcoat, white shirt and a red tie. Everyone in the crowd screamed.

He casually made his way around the hundreds people signing and having photos taken. Finally he got to me, I was shaken and terrified. My friend spoke for me: “This girl is your biggest fan and has been for years, believe me I know all about you because of her.”

Johnny replied, “Really?” and looked at me.

My Friend said, “Yes, she spent ages writing you this letter.”

She handed him my letter, and he said “Really? For me? That’s great, thank you so much,

Today was so boring so here’s yesterday in a bloody nutshell LOL!!!

Met Lucy and her mum at 7:30am and headed off for Wimbledon where we met Sinead and her mates at 8am. Cat woke up late so we met her in Leicester Square at like 9:30. We went to the Trocadero at like 10am and we hung out in all the shops and met Alison and her mum. Then at 10:30am we found our places next to some very nice girls. Some women was offering us 2 tickets to the Incredibles preview but we had more than 2 people. We found our own fun, singing songs, reading mags, taking pics, playing games etc. Some freaky rose man kept coming around saying ‘Hello beautifuls….would you like a rose?’ and we were like NOOOOOOOOOOOOO GO AWAY!!! The girl next to me had to kiss him EWWWWWW!!! ANYWAY…at like 4, the place started getting packed and stuff and it was bloody mayhem. Some man was interviewing us for Belgian TV….we declared our love for Johnny Depp on Belgian TV. And some guy was filming the crowd around us and paused on me and I was like ‘WOOOOOO JOHNNY!’ but then he was still there so I was like ‘Hi!…..Hi!……OOOOOOOOOK!’ lol!! At 5pm a drop of rain fell on me and Cat and Cat was like ‘EURGH IS THAT BIRD POO?” then rain came POURNING down spontaneously on the red carpet which was squelching.

Meeting Johnny Depp on the After Show Party of the Finding Neverland Premiere. London, October 17th, 2004.

Although I am a huge Johnny Depp-fan for over 10 years, I considered it absolutely impossible to ever meet him. Didn’t even think of it.
Until that day, October 2004: I read an announcement on the JohhyDeppZone: “tickets for sale, Finding Neverland Premiere and After Show Party. Join us for an evening with the stars, Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet a.o.”….Usually these tickets are not for sale, but this was for charity aim (the Children’s hospital to which J.M. Barrie left the Peter Pan-rights !). So, after a few days of calling London, I got those tickets….and started to dream what it would be like to really, really, meet Johnny Depp…..

And…: my dream came true….: I met Johnny, and Vanessa, spoke with him, both of them, just the three of us, at their dinner table.

In the Cinema I saw Johnny only on stage, far away.
But Vanessa watched the movie in the row in front of me. Johnny did not join her.
When leaving the theatre I passed Vanessa, touched her arm and told her -in French-: “C’

him i loved him and he gave me a sweet smile! He was so sweet and
gorgeous he signed nearly everybodies things and looked so beautiful
for the whole night. I saw Vanessa Paradis (who looked stunning) she
was quite obviously pregnant – breaking news! she is very petit and
i have video footage of vanessa holding her stomach with a small
bump!and video footage of johhny up real close too! i wonder if its
gonna be a boy or a girl! bless! johnny said “I am very happy my
fans were there through the rain and cold weather all day, they are
very sweet” something around those lines neways and when asked in an
interview what he thought of the film he replied “very good…? i’ve
