Johnny Depp Fans...Be Jealous

[Lady Eve PMS]

In case you weren't aware, the new film the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is currently being filmed in Hawaii. You know what that means! Johnny Depp is here!

The scenes which include the main pirate ship in the movie, the Queen Anne's Revenge, are being filmed at a pier about 40 minutes away from my house. Crowds of people flock to this place nightly to see the ship and, more importantly, to try to at least catch a glimpse of Johnny Depp.

Today (Aug. 4) was my mom's birthday. To fulfill her birthday request, some of my family accompanied her to the set of POTC 4. Luckily, our 2-hour wait was well worth it. At about 10:00pm, Johnny Depp stepped out of a black SUV dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow. Like at a concert, the Johnny Depp fans were waiting behind the metal "fence" that stretched across 3/4 of the pier's parking lot, screaming, clapping, and taking pictures.

I was satisfied with just seeing him in person. I didn't think I'd get much else. But...I got to see him up close and I got a two-handed handshake from him. His hands were pretty soft. And they felt like they had make up on them or something. He also smelled like heaven. It was awesome how he looked exactly the same as he does in the movies. I tried to get a pic of me with him in the background, but I didn't have the time to make the pic perfect. I look kinda goofy in the pic, but at least it had him in the background. I also got a few pics of him interacting with the crowd and one of him right in front of me.

What surprised me the most was that Johnny Depp took the time to shake every person's hand, as well as talk to and give hugs to some lucky people (mostly kids). Despite having a handful of body guards inches from him at all times, he seemed comfortable and happy to see his fans.

Johnny Depp has always been my favorite actor. Now that I've seen him in person and how he treats his fans, I think I've gained even more respect for him (if that's possible).

(funny side note: my mom was driving a little recklessly on the way home. so I said, "Mom, I don't want to die right now after seeing Johnny Depp. Actually, nevermind. My life is fulfilled now.")

[PMS TheSkittles]

it is impossible to measure my level of jealousy right now lucky! pirates of the Caribbean are amazing lol

[Vamp PMS]

That's sick! It's always cool to meet celebrities that you like. I've been fortunate enough to meet a few and its def the kinda thing that stays with you.

[H2O SkywalkerX]

He's not my all time favorite or anything, his role as jack however is one of the greatest, up there with heath ledger as the joker. reason i'm posting is because it's always good to hear a huge star such as that isn't stuck up and a jerkoff, always disappointed to love an actor and learn they're full of themselves

[Kelpie PMS]

JEALOUS! I love him and he seems like he would be really down to earth, nice to know my assumption is true!

[H2O Obsidian]

I love The Pirates Of The Carribean

[H2O QuoTez]

yes, at Safeway I got to hug him and get an autograph. Billie is pretty awesome too. But, Johnny Depp trumps all

Gotham: you make me laugh "...that man is FINE!?"

TheSkittles: I would also be majorly jealous if it wasn't me who got to see him

SingingVampiress: which celebrities have you met???

Skywalker: I'm glad JD isn't a jerk. I wish I could meet some of my other favorites actors just to see what they're like in real life.

Kelpie: I thought he always seemed down to earth too. I'm glad he is. I love all of his movies (even if I haven't seen them all)!

ObsidianShadows: I love POTC too!

Menace: I wouldn't have known about this movie if I wasn't so obsessed (and if I didn't work in the movie business).

yes that's the place.




estrogenocide: He does have soft hands though! And yes, they're making Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The leading lady in the movie is played by Penelope Cruz. I think it'll be better than the third one.
