Johnny filmed scenes from a movie in my town in 2008. No matter how late he worked, he always came out to greet the fans. I had the chance to meet him several times over that filming. He’s cool, sure - but even if he only had 30 seconds to greet you, he gave you his full attention. I respected that a lot.

I met Johnny Depp twice and he is always so cool with his fans

Michael, you are a fantastic storyteller!

Finally something good about Johnny

Being a Big Morrissey and Smiths fan. I really appreciate you sharing your very cool story.

I would probably cry or shit myself, if Johnny Depp walked out of his house, like that. Big fan of Johnny Depp, but I also agree, I would not go near the gate, as fear of cops being called, and well I don't want to look like a stalker. Johnny Depp is amazing, and I hope he wins his battle against his ex. #JusticeForJohnny

That's so sad you accidentally deleted the photos. But when you were saying that you were outside of morrissey's home and he walked out with the trash and noticed you and your friend. I thought for a split second you were going to say that you told him what had happened to the photo and that you got to take another photo with him. That would have been pretty cool. But I'm glad you have these memories. That's really awesome

That Morrissey story was great! A picture would be great, but just meeting him is awesome! He is an absolute legend!

So surprised morrisey agreed and took a photo

Also, I am one of Johnny Depp's acting students. He taught us in New York City at the New School University at Actors Studio Drama School 2001-02 year. A fellow student asked Depp for a cigarette during class and Johnny jokingly tossed a rolled cigarillo at him. lol. Depp was our best teacher there and taught us about the psychological gesture and Michael Chekhov technique. At the time, fanatics bought out other students seats at the taping. Some paid thousands, the rumor is.. . . James Lipton used a studio to edit in NYC known as Betelgeuss. During the taping, Depp made jokes about Tim Burton and how he created fart noises that came out of the dead cadavers during the filming of Sleepy Hollow. I never spoke with Depp, but he glowed like a strange vampire. No joke. I have never seen anyone like him. To this day, I feel he may be a vampire. I don't know for sure. I wouldn't be alone with him. He is no joke. Depp talked of his mother and how she taught him, "If anyone ever messes with you Depp. Pick up the nearest rock and bash them as hard as you can." Depp is the most interesting person I have ever witnessed. Very strange. He actually kind of glows. Pure beauty. No joking.

“Eventually all weirdos go to Hollywood”~ Ernest Hemingway Thats a complement.

If I was in front of Johnny Depp's gate I would freak out, dude! he's one of my idols! can't wait for other cool stories of L.A. ! I feel like wherever you turn your head in Hollywood there might be a story to tell.

Great stories man! I read Morrissey’s autobiography and he mentions how excited he was to live next door the Depp. But every time time he would catch a glimpse of him outside, Johnny would ignore him. Lol!

Seeing the old Amoeba building like that is depressing. I went once and it blew my mind.

My mom absolutely loved Johnny Depp. She passed away last year.

Yes. I love Johnny Depp.

Hey hey 👋🏼 love Johnny Depp 😊 thanks for this vid

Great segment, my friend. I live in Hollywood, too, and have had two Morrissey sightings. I, too, am a very big Smiths and Morrissey fan, so of course I want to share this. First time I saw Morrissey, he was walking down Cahuenga Blvd up the street from Amoeba Records. He was with a couple of male friends, they were all lookin' sharp. Second time, I was waiting outdoors for my food order at the now closed Twin Sliders at Sunset and Tamarind. Morrissey was again walking with two male friends, and I called out "Morrissey!" Not super loud, but it still startled him. I felt bad, and just said "I love you, man", then Morrissey walked into Delancey pizza on the nearby corner there. Pretty random and fun stuff. I love Hollywood history, would love to grab coffee with you sometime!

You are the quarry is so underrated it’s my fav morrisey solo album. Irish blood English heart is amazing

It’s fascinating that you tell a story where you met a celebrity and seeing celebrities houses is so cool

Hi , now that alot of the well known vloggers have moved out of LA , you are my no.1 go too , ❤ your vlogs , please keep up the great work..

Fine memories created... was in the US 20 years ago at The Viper Rooms... my boyfriend lives in the US as soon as our borders open in UK & US I'll be back making more memories... feeling closer via your videos until..... awesome stuff.....

That is a great story and your delivery of it made it that much more enthralling. It is always amazing and refreshing to hear of fans meeting celebrities and those celebrities being generous and at times just as happy to meet you as you are to meet them.

Morrissey...wow!! Such an icon of alternative 80's music ❤ Great story/memory even if you don't have a photo. I started laughing when you said he took out his garbage. Would have been hilarious if Johnny Depp came out at the same time. .. Look forward to more stories. 😊

Man that Morrissey story haha...you might meet him again..he lives there ☺ Im from London UK...went to LA on a holiday 5 years back...went to Amoeba...Museum of Death...amazing

This is why we miss Hollywood!! Anything can happen!! So excited for you both getting to live there ahh!!

sucks the picture got lost but you tell the story so well I didn't even need to see it

Great storie time I really enjoyed it ! My very obsessed friend with Johnny used to drag me up to that gate almost on a daily basis for about a month this was 20 years ago then after she went back to Germany for a few weeks I’m Italian but I live here in LA I happened to go to the viper room too met a friend and that night Johnny was at the door talking to someone I wanted to meet him so I went up to him and he look in disbelieve said hello smiling aged asked me how I was doing and that he hadn’t seen me and my friend at his gate for a while !! My face dropped I didn’t know what to say so I told him that she was in Germany but when she come back we will eventually visit again he laugh and he said oh grate see you soon then !!!! , he is a good sport anyone else would have probably call the cops on us but I think he was smart Enough to see that we weren’t going to do anything bad so that’s my stories with him . ♥️🌹

we love morrissey so much he is a fantastic guy and love this story you told you and Jessica are so amazing xx

Loved the story! Reminded me of when I stalked Rob Zombie and Sheri when they were at Disneyland. This was 2014 in October. We were walking down Main St. as we were leaving. I look to my right and see Rob with Sheri and a Disney guide. I was determined to follow them. I did just that. Followed them into The Nightmare Before Christmas store. Of course me being me acts like I'm shopping, picks up a big top hat puts it on and it falls over my eyes. I pushed it up and Rob was looking directly at me with a smile. I said hi and that I was a huge fan. He was so cool and so is Sheri. I didn't have my camera. It was with my then boyfriend. I was happy to have chatted with Rob and Sheri for a few minutes before they went up to Club 33. I'm also a huge Johnny Depp fan. Love that man!

Thanks for sharing your story...and Yes! I'm agree that you guys do more videos like this storytelling kind.....good job Mike and Jessica!

Great video ... love this format ..love hearing your personal stories

Love these types of videos as well as your regular content! Keep them coming!! 👻

I love the story time idea. Please do more of these!! 😍😍😍

Thanks for the walk down memory lane!! have a great day!!

Always a great evening when a video of yours shows up!

What a great story! Love the video format. Keep them coming!

Great video. I really enjoyed hearing your memories.

I love going down memory lane videos so definitely do some more! This was a good one...

Oh man you're killing me with that Morrissey story. I'm literally just finishing reading his Memoir. Huge Morrissey fan all my life and seen him a few times. If that had happened to me, the deleting of the photo, I would need Xanax for a year. That sucks! Love your channel by the way! I still love LA, lived in Southern California when I was a kid, was there two years ago and wish I lived there.

a lovely personal story which belongs in your memory forever and I have an old saying - Your eyes are the camera - so in that sense even though you lost the photograph you still have it engraved in your mind's eye for eternity. I've had the pleasure of seeing many of your stellar videos and this is absolutely one of my all time favorites. Sending good thoughts from Canada at 12:21pm

😎this is seriously one of my favorite channels..so good plus the way you tell the story is very interesting

Dave and i are literally lol remembering this with you. 😂 I had to wipe tears away. You can't make this shit up.

Great walk and talk I hope you do more of these style. As a international viewer we enjoy seeing the sightseeing of different neighbourhoods

Bela Lugosi once owned that mansion that depp owns now. That’s cool

What a great story. I was in a band in Liverpool UK, when we supposed New York Dolls. When I was walking down the back corridors of the venue to the room we have been allocated to wait in until our turn to play, I walked past Morrissey. Literally could not believe it. I briefly spoke with him and got a photo, which I still have to this day. Always great having memories like this, even if they are not documented with an image, autograph or whatever.

I absolutely loved your Morrissey story! I am a massive fan for past 35 years, he is the only singer I listen to everyday! He is everything to me. I am absolutely obsessed with this beautiful house and I feel so sad he had to leave his beautiful dream home because of it becoming known to fans. This house was so perfect for him in every way! I am still depressed as he canceled his New Zealand show with 2 nights notice and I'm so sad as the last time I saw him was in 1991. I was hanging out to see him so bad!! I am so gutted you lost your photo but happy you got to meet him at least! I appreciate you sharing your story!

Really enjoyed that thank you 🌸 💕

There are many storytellers in YT but your channel is THE best! So many details...makes me feel like i also visit in those places. Once again, thank you guys! XOXO

Awesome video. Love your channel. Thank you

Awesome veiw! Nicely done Luv&Peace Sean&family Cheers!

In 2010 I met Kevin Sorbo aka (Hercules) on a flight from Atlanta to LA I was meeting a girl from the LA area that I had met on an internet dating chat site. I’m from a very small town in Kentucky and was still in a kind of shock to be on a plan to LA when lo and behold I discovered what looked like Kevin Sorbo was to be the other passenger in my seating row. It was a 5 hour flight and I was actually nervous about talking to him because I thought I must be mistaken I reasoned “what are the odds I’m sitting next to a movie star especially on my first and only trip to Hollywood. I actually thought he might be one of the Carradine brothers and not Kevin Sorbo. About 2 hours into the flight I worked up the nerve and asked him if he minded me asking him his name. He smiled and said “I’m Kevin Sorbo” He immediately asked me where I was from. I suppose he heard my accent when I conversed with the stewardess and when I told him I was from a small town in Kentucky he nodded and said “OK Kentucky you know I’m from a very small town myself about 900 people” We talked awhile about his movies and he even told me me he just finished a movie where the characters meet on the internet after I informed him of my reason for my LA trip We chatted and even talked about fishing ect , he was chatting with me like a regular guy. The funny thing is the Captain of the plane came back to our seat and was telling Kevin what a big fan he was and the Captain kept looking me over like he was trying to place me. He obviously thought maybe I was with Mr Sorbo. When it was time to exit the plane we shook hands and we wished each other good luck and he was even nice enough to help other passengers with their overhead luggage I think he’s 6.2 or 6.3 a pretty tall guy, just a nice guy is all I have to say.

Always Awesome what you do!!! Yes, absolutely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍

Your picture story reminds me of one time I was at San Diego comic con and I took a pic with a celebrity and then it just vanished from my phone...I was sooooo mad 🤣

I like your videos. Really cool to explore LA with you.

Great video thank you!

Love your stories. So much of this is familiar. I lived at Yucca/Whitley, August, 1977 --the news of Elvis and what sticks in my mind to this day, staring out the window at the massive HOLLYWOOD sign. Ten years later, I found myself in Memphis. Embrace your moments!

Thanks for the cool memories 😎

great video.....love Hollywood info and history.

Love the vids! Keep it up.

Loved the Morrissey story Michael, what a shame about the photo! Last I heard, he currently lives in Paris. Another hugely entertaining, evocative video, long may you continue!

Also ran into morrissey at tower records right before it closed 2006. His bodyguard denied us an autograph.

Great story about meeting Morrissey. I was a huge fan in the 80s and 90s and never met him but knew people who knew him well like Winnie Wong and Julia Reilly. Winnie got a cd cover signed for me. I remember when an online fan account got his address and posted pictures of meeting him and posing for pictures on his property like on the steps. The fan was criticized for doing that. Moz moved coincidentally shortly after. I remember seeing photos of the inside of his house on a realty website that was shared by a fan site. It was not like now where the inside of homes are commonly available. I just came across your channel recently. Enjoying your content. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing !@ I like Morrisey too 🦇🖤🦇Happy Halloween!!

Outstanding video blessings 🕊🙏😇🙏🕊

I feel so bad for you accidentally deleting those photos. That sucks so bad. But that's a great story and I 100% believe you.

This store àmoeba was awesome. So glad I got to go there many times before they closed. True iconic shop . The sidewalk sales were just so cheap and full of music and movie memorabilia.

What a great story about Morrissey. I could almost feel the great loss in your words alone. Hope you get a replacement photo in the future. Cheers.

Awesome stuff brother. Well done!

Wow! I hugged Morrissey in Dallas at The Starplex at the Kill Uncle Tour during Suedhead June 17th, 1991. It is recorded on: Morrissey Live In Dallas VHS which is published. Read his biography. You can see me hug Morrissey on KZfaq at Morrissey Live in Dallas (the time of my hug is 51 minutes and 21 seconds when Morrissey says in the song, "Why did you come?" or look at my youtube vlog about Morrissey. Great show. I love grimmlifecollective. Tell Jessica hi.

I wish I could move to LA😭 Too expensive tho'. But good luck on your new journey guys💚 #GrimmFamily in tha' house😃

Beautiful story. I enjoyed this very much

I enjoyed it, thanks 😊

The "personal " in your stories make them unique. This was exceptional

Hey the memory of meeting Morrissey is obviously so clear and all of those feelings that go with it are better than a photo. When I saw him live (one of the times!) I didn't even pull my phone out to take a photo because I didn't want to take my eyes off him for a second! It's amazing that he walked by after you spoke of him, and you saw him dumping his rubbish! He's had people camping outside his house's over the years and it makes him uncomfortable, I know you guys weren't actually doing that but you were lucky to get a smile and a wave!

Great video, for I am fan of both Morrissey and Johnny Depp...it is like a video diary...love it

What a great story about Morrisey, well at least until the end, sorry you lost all the pics from that night, but yeah man...right on! I’ve met many musicians, actors, wrestlers etc like that “out in the the wild” and I’ve never had a bad experience. Anyone that I’ve approached like that, I’ve had a genuine appreciation and respect for and I think most celebrities, or whatever you want to call it, knows when you’re not full of shit and THEY appreciate how much their art has touched you. Great video and story, I really enjoyed seeing these places through your story. It wasn’t just “here’s this place”, you showed places that people are definitely interested in seeing in LA and your story brought a whole different light to the experience. It was informative and personal. Keep’em comin!

Great Video,Solo videos are the BEST1

What a cool story I love Johnny thank you for sharing ❤️😀

Really loved this story

Hi Michael and Jessica. Cool stories. I've got a few myself I can never share here. Thanks to working at a certain amusement park for years, years ago, I got to meet a few and see a few. Great memories though.

Your story and shirt are super freaking dope!

Favorite Johnny Depp movie "BLOW" Favorite Morrissey / The Smiths song "How Soon Is Now"

Great story!!!

Around 20 years ago I was at the Whiskey a go go waiting to see U.S. Bombs play and I was crossing the street and a pink Ferrari drives by me. The woman driving has big blonde hair and is smiling and waving hello and as I smile and wave back Im turning around and look up to see a billboard that reads Angelyne with this woman likeness. It was her! Didn't know who she was and still don't but I thought it was pretty cool.

Great story… I am a huge Johnny Depp fan … he’s a great actor and my favorite movie he did was Donnie Brasco… I think Al Pacino is the best actor in the world so to me that was just a phenomenal movie but again another great video and you tell stories fantastic…

Love the videos and I just realized it is Friday the 13th this Friday

I live in Pittsburgh now, and enjoyed your tales.

Love your videos 🤩

Wonderful story! I was lucky enough to see The Smiths live in London back in '86. ❤️

This video is TWO YEARS OLD, and I've never seen it! Mon Dieu, Sacre Bleu! Incredible episode, because there is nothing quite so compelling as a personal experience story. And a Hollywood story, will rank among The Most Wacky. 🏆🏆⭐⭐🌟🌟💫💫 In this world, there are no coincidences, Mr. Grimm. And your Instant Wish Fulfilment--the Full Morrissey, you might say--was the universe's way of saying, This is Where You Need to Be. 😎😎The photo deletion? A mere blip on your radar. The important point was that you EXPERIENCED IT...TWICE! How off the (record) charts is that?! And your first sighting, during the Hollywood Christmas Parade, when the streets are heaving with people?! Even more insane! Even a Grimm Never Says Die: you Will have the Dream Home you and Jessica both desire. Intention brings completion, so create that Wish Fulfilment Mood Board; place it where you both can see it; give your (dark) Angels a heads-up, and let them bring it all to fruition for you. My personal Morrissey standard is 'The Teachers Are Afraid of the Pupils'. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b79yfqqbrNCnm4k.html I believe he lives in Italy now--although that may have changed. Changing residences, as you say, is almost a prerequisite, if you desire space and privacy. 🙌🙌

Thanks for showing us around Hollywood.....You know and love your city of Angels....peace. ....I love the small streets with all the foliage.......

Honestly don't know much about Morrissey but have appreciated the talent of Johnny Depp emensly For decades now and I just hope n pray that he'll play another eccentric character in another well scripted movie soon...also enjoy his singing voice.💯💫

Great story that, i thought you were gonna get a 2nd picture with Morrissey and show us haha. The Smiths and Morrissey are from my hometown of Manchester.

Excellent story! I ran into Morrissey at Bank of America by Fairfax. I didn't have the balls to say anything, and never saw him again the years I lived there.

you help me travel to Hollywood during this pandemic,thank you

This story made my day, wow 👍👍

Thank you for this Great Video! ☺️👌 Its my big Dream to Visite and live there . I Love Hollywood ❤️❤️❤️

Aw man, I was looking forward to seeing that picture! I remember Fabio did an I Can't Believe It's Not Butter commercial.

My dream is to meet Johnny depp. I can't wait for the day!
