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..

hey guys, well, just got back from london about 45 mins ago, and brace yourselves, because i can guarentee this will be my longest post! and iv done some long ones! hu-hum.—

o.k, well, we got to leister square at about, half four, cos we wanted to take in the atmosphere and everything, and the time went really quickly, as we were standing behing the gates, this woman said, “god, iv broken into alot of places, but this security guards the worst!” cos he wasnt even looking at more people going behind the gates when it was restricted Rolling Eyes anyway, we got to talking, and, stroke of luck, she was the producer of Q and A at the bafta rehearsal which was on the same night!and johnny was doing it! Shocked Very Happy so i asked her questions like would he be coming in for the intro and everything, she was so useful, and funny-and then, it started absolutly POORING IT DOWN with rain, england style, so my hair was compleatly drenched Rolling Eyes but i didnt care that much, but i was unbearably cold! so, when the woman had to go, i held her arm and just said “look, you have such a better chance at getting this to him than i do, please just try,” and she said” oh, no look, i cant do autographs, ” and i said “no, its not an autograph, i just want you to give him this letter” so she goes “right,

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!!??

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.
