Around the time of the 2011 Round The Island Race and the NatWest Island Games, it was rumoured that American actor and musician, Johnny Depp had been spotted on the Isle of Wight
We’d heard rumblings of him being down in Ventnor in previous years (later confirmed by those who met him) and last weekend, apparently Johnny was spotted in Ryde (via).
VB followers on Facebook say that Johnny was spotted in the Chocolate Apothecary on Ryde Esplanade on Sunday, happy to have his picture taken with a fan.
Taking in the delights of the Isle of Wight
He was clearly trying to take in as much of the Island as possible, with Karysha Clarke-Ferrell, saying he was in Ugly Mug Cafe in Shanklin on Saturday.
We haven’t seen him down in the South this time, but Diane Gray said, “He was in Cowes in the Union on Saturday Night”.
We may see a lot more of Johnny and his wife, Vanessa Paradis, on the Island if the rumours that Helen Nicholson have heard are true. “He’s rumoured to have brought a house here” she told us on Facebook.
An Isle of Wight residence would join his pads in Paris, LA, The Bahamas and the South of France (via).
We can totally understand why Johnny would want to have a bolt hole on the Island, natch.
