JOHNNY GIVES FANS THE COLD SHOULDER
Wells Journal
09:30 - 18 March 2004
Superstar Johnny Depp broke hearts for all the wrong reasons yesterday by refusing to meet devoted West fans. Scores of admirers turned up to the final day's shooting of his latest film The Libertines at Montacute House, near Yeovil, Somerset.
Devoted fans who turned up at the set each night had been told that Johnny had finally agreed to meet them yesterday.
But after hours of waiting in eager anticipation, their hopes were dashed when the American producer announced the crowd was too large.
A spokesman for Depp blamed it on a local radio announcement which had brought in too many people.
But after one of Depp's minders threatened two teenage girls with a stick at Montacute House last week as they went in search of his autograph, fans were left asking whether success had gone to his head.
Four years ago, while based in Bath filming Chocolat, Depp went antique hunting in the city shops and mingled with the crowds freely.
But since his Oscar nomination for Pirates of the Caribbean, he has become increasingly distant and has given fans the cold shoulder.
Fern Laurie, 16, of Langport, Somerset, fumed: "I'm really angry. He's my favourite film star and I was really excited about meeting him."
Friend Alice White, 16, added: "He could at least come to the gate and let us take a photograph of him.
"We have been coming here every afternoon, and each time they told us we could meet him the next day."
Joanne Miller, 33, had come on behalf of Cancer Research from Chippenham, Wiltshire, in the hope of having charity T-shirts signed.
She said: "I am extremely disappointed. I came up on Monday night and have been waiting since then to meet him.
A spokesman for the star told fans: "If Johnny were to do a photograph for every person here it would take too many hours. Johnny is really sorry - he really wanted to do this, but we simply weren't expecting this many people

Hi,I met Johnny in Crickhowell & he was very nice.I travelled to Montecute with 6 t-shirts, 2 baseball caps & 2 photos hopeing I could meet him again & ask him to sign them all, but no chance.I was going to auction them all for breast cancer as my friend died of it 14/2/04. My friends & I are doing a collection in our local town in fancy dress & our bras.I thought it would be a good idea to raise MORE money for the charity. On E-Bay Johnnys autograph can fetch between £60 - £70.
I am disgusted that no-1 gave a smeep about what I was trying to do for breast cancer. Just glad that I havent that sort of attitude!
Very angry fans on wednesday & i dont blame them, they buy his films & his merchandise & the least he could of done was show his face behind the locked gates if the security thought he would of been in so called danger!
Good luck to all who are expecting to see him in Wells.

The ironic thing is that he didn't even know Pirates was going to be a big commercial film... he said in an interview that he only realised how big it was going to be after he saw the advertising campaign.
Still, if he just sticks to smaller and more diverse films for a while, all the teenyboppers will probably give up pretending to be fans

How could anybody - even less people who work in this industry - think that a Disney film wouldn't be a big commercial film?? I think the Oscar nomination for PotC film was a genuine surprise though. Of course he knew what he was getting himself into with Disney. But the HUGE wage that matches a HUGE film will help him fund other less profitable projects, and be a good downpayment for the Carribean Island he's reportedly about to buy!!
I have been so near to Johnny so many times in the past few weeks (i.e. even breathing the same air! LOL v. loudly!!), but what with his security protection while on set, and the 100's of under 12's at autograph signings, I didn't get to meet either him or John Malkovich. How pants is that?? So near and yet so far!! I did get to see him work at Montacute though so I am counting my lucky stars! I do know people who would pay for the experience!! I have to say though, if all the under 12's had been removed from the few signings, there would have been about 20 people there instead of 250, and we would all have got to meet & greet some of the best actors of our lifetime. Johnny alone has more than 30 films under his belt to be credited for but all you can hear at the locations is "We want Johnny, We love Jack Sparrow" Huh. Not one 'fan' I spoke to at the location (and I spoke to lots & their parents!!) even knew what film he is shooting, who is producing, what the name of his character is or even what the film is about. Most of them won't even be legally allowed in to cinemas to see The Libertine. I think there is now 0 chance of meeting Johnny in the UK which is really sad (for him too! He really does make the effort to meet fans when it can be done safely). I hope all this manic 5 minute fan base will disappear as he goes back to his more off beat, less commercial films, and he comes to the South West again to work and give us a second chance - we're not all screaming loonies!!
In the meantime Johnny, if you want a bit of peace & quiet and to contemplate the complete works of John Wilmot (I really have had a copy for years) over a nice afternoon English tea or big fat J with me, you are more than welcomed to pop round! I live close to where you are right now et j'ai deux petits enfants Francais, alors on peut exercer ensemble! Mail me!
Lolyta Hi sweetie!! Look if you haven't already got to see Johnny I honestly think that things have gone so crazy here that you won't get to see him. I will private message you with more details.
The above link for Nina's people is a good one - thanx again to Lolyta!. Code for Isle of Man is 01624!! But you have to register with the agency before 25th of March, and have to get to the Isle of White for casting (Hilton Hotel on Isle of White is where the casting is taking place) & Filming. Could work out VERY expensive if you don't actually live there!!
Savvy??!
