Johnny Depp thrilled the Comic Con patrons in Hall H today by making a quick appearance on stage to support his friend and director Tim Burton. Tim was there to introduce the trailer for Alice in Wonderland, in which Johnny plays the Mad Hatter. According to E! Online, when Tim reached the end of his Q&A segment, he “asked the crowd if they would like to meet the ‘imaginary friend’ that follows him around.” To the delight of the crowd, Johnny appeared on stage and waved. He was wearing a white striped shirt open at the neck and a Dillinger-style pinstriped vest. To see a larger version of our picture of JD at Comic Con, CLICK HERE.
Johnny’s greeting to Comic Con was short and sweet. “After several moments of cheering,” E! Online reports, Johnny leaned into the microphone and said, “Hey. Happy to be here.” Five words and a big smile–and then he was gone.
CinemaBlend offered this succinct summary of Johnny’s visit to Hall H: “Johnny Depp showed up for approximately a minute, wearing a vest and looking insanely hot. The Twilight moms completely lost it. I’m pretty sure everyone in the room fell in love immediately.” Sounds about right . . . .
