Congrats on the reply from Johnny - you were lucky to get two autographs!
I was lucky to meet him at Pinewood studios when I was at university doing a music course in April 2007 - he just walked right past us - there were at least 15 of us and only ME noticed who it was :/ I was bold enough to leave my electric violin and run after him to ask for an autograph - I only had sheet music for him to sign but he asked a crew member to get 'one of the poster's' and signed it personally because he didn't want to ruin my exam music LOL!
He then asked me what I played, and I said electric violin and asked me what grade I was, so I said diploma level - I did a BA Hons in Music performance. He was a genuine nice down to earth person who actually took the time to talk rather than just squiggle a signature down.
I will take a picture and add it as my avatar so you can have a look at it - it's now proudly framed above my bed lol.
My tip - if you live in London or near pinewood OR are a student who has lessons there, just kinda hang around for a while - mine was merely a coincidence and luck, make SURE you have your badge or they'll throw you out LOL! And go when you know they are filming- I didn't know, I just happened to have a lesson - oh, and it was at 7.30 at night. So I guess they were either just wrapping up, or just getting started. IDK. But if you are a student and do go, good luck. If you meet Johnny - he will definitely sign. Another tip - I called him Mr Depp......I didn't use 'Johnny' - He seemed to like the fact that I'd taken the time to be polite
I hope this helps people.
