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’

Hey guys – I thought I should inform u that I did have an encounter
with the one and only inspiring Johnny on the 17th October 04 at the
london premiere of ‘finding neverland’ it was so much fun, standing
just a foot away from Mr Depp i got his autograph, thanked him, told
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
never been great at that salesman thing before.” bless him so. neway
i will definately post a more detailed description soon wen i get
those much deserved photos i am waiting for!
thanks Johnny, I had such a great time and thanks to the webmaster

I’ve just got back home from the premiere. It was an incredible experience. Just seeing the Odeon surrounded by railings, with the cameras and crowds there and the helicopter filming it, was wonderful. Walking on the red carpet and into the building, knowing he would be following, was just incredible! I was up in the circle watching Johnny on the screen signing autographs outside! An exquisite form of torture but I was excited anyway. He went on for ages, it seemed. Then we watched him on the screen being interviewed inside the building, only yards away!Then finally it finished and the curtains closed. We waited for another age and suddenly I noticed Vanessa come in. She was a couple of feet away from AnaMaria and eventually sat down directly in front of me about 10 rows away. She looked stunning. Feminine and elegant – and petite, of course. I don’t think the pictures do her justice at all. When Johnny came on stage, it was just the best, the best. I didn’t get close to him. I went inside before he arrived to work the crowd so I didn’t get close, but I was still pretty ecstatic. Actually, I was very emotional. What an evening. The film was wonderful. I won’t go on about that now – it’s time for me to get to bed! But at the end of the film, we were approached by someone and asked if we would be interviewed so that our comments about the film could be used for radio adverts to promote the film next week!

Ok, this might not be particularly coherent, as I am still shaking, but here goes.

Lizabel, Anna, Nichola & myself met up at lunchtime at The Odeon. After a long lunch spent talking non stop about Johnny (what else?!), and eating very little, we went back to the Odeon to meet up with some other zoners. After being moved around a bit by securty staff, we managed to get to the front of the barriers outside the Odeon, just as the heavens opened and we all got soaking wet! Eventually the rain stopped, before anyone arrived thankfully, so we were all able to get our cameras ready. We saw a few stars arrive – Mackenzie Crook, Christopher Lee, Kelly McDonald, Freddie Highmore, and I’m sure some more I’ve forgotten! Unfortunately, as we suspected, Johnny didn’t arrive until after we had to be seated as we had tickets to see the movie. We waited as long as we could, but had to admit defeat and went inside to our seats. Inside the cinema they were showing footage of the stars arriving & a tv presenter interviewing various stars. Johnny must have arrived just as we got inside as they were showing footage of him signing autographs a short while after we got to our seats. We could see where abouts in the crowd he was, and as our bad luck would have it, he was signing some autographs right where we had been standing!! But we didn’t want to risk not getting to see the movie or the presentation so we had to leave when we did.

Just got back from London. I’m exhausted so I will keep it short, it was amazing, everything about it was a dream come true, although I didn’t actually meet Johnny, I was three rows from the front of the cinema and when he was on stage he was less that 20 feet away, he looks even more amazing in real life. on cloud nine

It was also really nice meeting other zoners, and putting some faces to names.

Oh and I almost forgot, the film was fantastic, I can’t wait to see it again, it’s funny wonderfull and sad all at the same time, another Johnny movie that makes me cry.

I’m sure others will have more detailed reports, I am struggling to find words to describe the experience, my only sadness is that you all couldn’t be there to share it.

I’m off to bed now for some sweet Johnny dreams

Wahoo! It was the greatest. Well I got there at 11 am and we sat there
for 7 hours! I met and saw The grey haired blokefrom waking the dead. I dont know his name. Also his wife who is on Holby City. Also Mackenzie Crook, you know he is on The Office and he is the pirate on
POTC with one eye. Also there was Cat Deeley Paul Ross Christopher Lee
and then suddenly Vanessa Paradis appeared and near enough ran to the
cinema. She didnt stop to have photos or anything. Well 20 minutes
later up the other end of the carpet because I was near enough
oppisite the entrance of the cinema, ther was a massive cheer ing and
the chanting of ‘Johnny, Johnny, Johnny! He had came. With Kate
Winslet! Wow! It was so amazing. I spoke to him, got his autograph and
he touched me! Also I am in the same shots with him on Sky News. Also
I was there while they were setting it all up and the red carpet got
flooded because for about 2 hours it was chucking it down with rain.
Also to wind up the people next to me when there were the boring
people coming down the red carpet I kept saying, ‘Look it is Sven
Goran Erikksonn!’ Or ‘Hey! What is Tony Blair doing here’ Things like
that. It was so cool.

Well, what to tell you that you havent already read… You all know that Chocolat was able to phone me on my mobile at 2 pre designated times so that I could report ‘live’ from the scene – I must tell you all that it was totally her idea and at HER expense too – phoning a mobile from US to UK…but she did it for the zone! just for fun

Anna & I travelled up to Leicester Sq and met up with Poppet and Nichola. We went for lunch, but the 4 of us were too churned up to really eat properly, so we chatted and laughed. There were already quite a few people outside the cinema, staking their place in the ‘front’ of the barriers. On reflection, they might just have been in the better place.. However, after chatting up a very nice policeman, we managed to stay around the Press area and just waited and hoped… The heavy downpour was not appreciated I can tell you but it was all worth it in the hope of seeing our man: I remember at some point I was next to Spirit of Cherokee and ScrunchyApril & her Mum were there too! We knew we had to be in our seats by 6.30 or we risked not getting in at all, despite being ticket holders. We waited until the last minute, then we had to give up our wonderful place right next to the Press area and walk on a rather sodden red carpet..
