I got to Pinewood at about 5pm. There were 2 ladies and a young boy who’d been there since lunchtime. I just happened to walk down towards the security office, normally I’d wait at the end of the road, off the property as that’s what I’d been told to do previously. Luckily I decided to go and say hi to the security guys or I’d have missed out possibly. Anyway, Jo and Lisa got there after work and we waited in the absolute freezing cold.

Just around 8pm we saw Johnny’s car approach and we waved to it and it slowed down and stopped. Jerry, Johnny’s security guy got out first and then Johnny got out. I couldn’t believe I was finally going to meet him like this after so many disappointments. We’d been given teas and coffees by the security guards only minutes before he came out and we were all holding them. Jo and Lisa went to put theirs down but I waited so I was actually in the front when he came towards us. I was conscious though that the other people had been waiting longer than us that night so I said they should go first. Lisa just looked at me and gave me the biggest hug.

They chatted to Johnny for a while and I heard him say he had to grow his beard for POTC2 and that it takes him about 3 months to grow –

Appearing at the Venice Film Festival, Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet are in town to promote their new film Finding Neverland. Johnny’s starring role as JM Barrie required him to study with a dialect coach from a Scottish family – “It [ the Scottish accent] was one that was really far away from me, in terms of my ear. I couldn’t quite hear it initially so I just studied and studied and studied,” said Depp. He added, “I tend to approach that kind of thing as a musician. I learned how to play by ear and I couldn’t find the music initially.”

How to explain the day when a dream comes true?

i’m sure Johnny Depp fans can imagine what they would feel in touching what they believed was impossible to happen…but i’m really stunned and confused by what i felt…i discovered i was completely different and i acted in a different way from what i thought it would be…
i’ll try to be clearer: the 4th september… i did everything to be there that day in venice (people of the festival changed the dates, the tickets firts weren’t there, i “tortured” a friend of mine whose only fault is that of living in Venice…)…and after all this…finally, i had the tickets, i had the hotel reservation, i made plans of meeting with my friends…everything was ok!
but i didn’t deal with myself…i knew that the 4th september was for me a particular date,even if i had tried to forget it…it was the anniversary of the day when i met capitain Jack Sparrow for the first time, and i fell in love with him from the very first time i saw him!
Ok, ok, i know i’m not the only one… but i owe that pirate more than my passion, more than the fact that he made it possible for me to find lots of special girls in the italian fanclub…i owe him my rebirth!

LIDO OF VENICE[/b]

We arrive at the lido in 40 minutes…we were really excited…”maybe Johnny is there in this moment…maybe we’re breathing his same air…” (i know, i’m really crazy, but i’ve always loved him since i was a child and it seemed to me not real to be there…)
Lots of important people in the world of cinema was there…People running here and there, lots of “shops”, the air was frenetic, special, MAGIC…
it was in that moment, there, in the crowd, tha i realized i really made it, i was there…

We took the tickets, the weather was really hot…
LOOKING FOR HIM
i still don’t know and still can’t understand how we managed to get in the exact place where Johnny would come just a few minutes before his arrival, but we did…

after we took the tickets, i started speaking with a girl in a shop, and she told me that Johnny was there,
