Have you met him? Ever see him? Write to him? Even if you /think/ you saw him, or if you know someone that's met him, let's hear about it!

I've got two connections to Johnny, sort of: a) My friend's stepmother WENT OUT with Johnny in the post-Lori era (I didn't believe her at first, but she gave me so many details that I know someone wouldn't know unless they were a true Johnny fan, and something tells me she doesn't spend her time egging him out online. She also is (still) friends with Lori Allison, his first wife, and I definitely believed that when she showed me lots of pictures of them together). They dated for a month, did not go past second base, she said, but that Johnny was "incredibly sweet" and "delightfully romantic." I know I sound slightly unmoved. That's because, three months after she told me, I am still in shock. b) My ex's grandma is the head of some big makeup company and she's very, very good pals with Vanessa Paradis. My uncle also photographed the Lady Washington (ship that supplied as the Intercepter in POTC) as well as the ship they used for the Black Pearl; he's a professional ship photographer, if you haven't guessed.  So I guess that's kind of a tie-in. And yes, I was indescribably irritated by the fact that he did not bring me with him when he took the pictures. |

My brother actually *met* the great one himself, Johnny Depp. I was floored upon hearing this, then it was deinal, and then I asked for the story.
Ian, my half brother, was in L.A. about six years ago. He decided to go to the Viper ROom, so he did, and guess who was there? No, not River Phoenix. It was Johnny Depp! Ian said "Hi," to him. As to what Johnny replied with, Ian didn't quite give me a straight answer, so I made my own suggestion. I guessed Johnny said "smeep off, simpleton!"
Of course, I was joking, seeing as how Johnny would never say that to someone who just wanted to say 'hi.' But Ian was like "Yeah, that's pretty much what he said." I got mad and told him he was lying, and Ian said "Well...he didn't use those *exact* words...but he meant it."
By then I was annoyed. "What did he smeeping say?!?!"
My brother said, "Alright, he said 'hi' back, ok? Happy now?"
I was very, very happy... Or at least as happy as I could be while privy to the fact that I wasn't the one saying hi to Johnny. Oh well, there's always this summer in Paris. *crosses her fingers and toes and eyes*

D*mnit, I'm officially jealous. If I didn't get seasick every time I got in a boat, I would be VERY jealous, and so because of my weakness to water, and boats, this jealousy is control-able. But wow, that's really exciting. HAVE AN AMAZING TIME AND TELL US EVERYTHING!!! [/fangirl]

Not sure I'll get to go yet, but I'm hoping. If I did, it would probably be this summer. *checks watch and cries* But I'm hoping I'll get to. That would be so indescribably cool.

 I am totally jealous of all of you!! Gah! Why can I not meet Johnny? Why? Why? Oh well, my uncle might move to France, maybe I will get to go visit him if he does. It's along shot I know, but you've got to have hope.

My 2nd cousin is Carlos Gallardo, the original El Mariachi, and he was one of the producers OUATIM. I've never met Johnny, but someone I'm related to has worked with him.

 woah Heather that is so cool Do you speak Spanish? I want to learn ;D Sadly I dont know any spanish, although my dads side of the family speaks spanish fluently. I can understand some things when they talk in spanish, but I couldnt speak it to save my life. lol. My grandfather speaks with such a heavy accent that sometimes I think I'd understand him better if he just spoke spanish all the time. This past summer most of my dad's side of the family went to Mexico. Unfortunately I wasnt able to go. They stayed with Carlos's mother, and I think Carlos stopped in once or twice. I would have liked to talk to him. Possibly send a little message to Johnny...  Hehe. Oh well, theres always another time. |
