When Johnny saw Winona for the first time he was 26 and she was 18. They were every adolescentâs dream - he was a teen idol and she was little more than a teenager. They knew of one another through their movies but they met in person at the premiere of Great Balls of Fire, Winona wore white and was in the hall drinking a Coke. âIt was a classic glance,â said Depp, âlike the zoom lenses in West Side Story, and everything else gets foggy.â âIt wasnât a long moment â echoed Winona - but it was suspended.â
They met again several months later at Johnnyâs âhomeâ at the Chateau Marmont and they talked about their mutual love of Catcher in the Rye and the soundtrack from The Mission. A week or so later their union was blessed during their first official date, by the LSD guru, Timothy Leary, who, just like in a screenplay of a dark rom-com, was the godfather of "I have never had a boyfriend and I stay at home with my mum and watch old movies" Winona and the idol of the Beat Generation "I finished trying out all the drugs there were at 14" Johnny.
Shortly after that she had a ring on her finger and he had âWinona foreverâ tattooed on his biceps.
She said things like: "When I met Johnny, I was pure virgin. He changed that. He was my first everything. My first real kiss. My first real boyfriend. My first fiancĂŠ. The first guy I had sex with. So heâll always be in my heart. Forever. Kind of funny that word."Â
He responded with: âIâd die for her. I love her so much. I donât know what I would do without her. Sheâs going through a lot right now. I wish I could just kiss away the pain, make it go away, stop it, kill it! If she, you know, I donât know what I would do. Iâd kill myself. I love that girl. I love her. I love her almost more than I love myself.â Or: âBelieve me, this Winona Forever tattoo is not something I took lightlyâŚHer eyes kill meâ.
