Johnny Depp surprises adoring fans with selfies, autographs, and hugs

Johnny Depp once again delighted his U.S. fans with a spectacular performance alongside The Hollywood Vampires. 

Despite previously canceling several international shows, the band, featuring Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, and Tommy Henriksen, took the stage at the Boch Center's Wang Theatre in Boston on Friday night. The venue was packed with a sold-out crowd of 3,500 eager fans.

Before the show, Johnny Depp arrived at the backstage entrance and immediately headed towards the barricade, where a group of excited fans eagerly awaited him. He graciously took the time to interact with his devoted admirers, taking selfies, signing autographs, and sharing hugs with at least 20 of the 60 screaming fans who were present.

Among those lucky fans was Molly Smith, a 12-year-old from Concord, New Hampshire, who couldn't hold back her tears of joy when she not only got a selfie with Johnny Depp but also received a heartfelt hug from the star.

“He smiled at me, and all I could manage to say was 'hi,'" Molly recalls with excitement. "My mom introduced me to his movies and music, and I still can't believe I just met him."

Cathy Smith, Molly's mother, was equally impressed by Johnny Depp's genuine kindness towards her daughter and the other fans he met.

“He really was so nice, and I’ve never seen her that excited," Cathy says about Molly's unforgettable encounter with the talented actor and musician. "She will never forget this."

Although all the band members, including Glen Sobel, Buck Johnson, and Chris Wyse, who joined them on tour, have well-established careers in the music industry, it was Johnny Depp, renowned for his iconic movie roles, who seemed to be the main attraction, drawing the most excitement from the enthusiastic crowd of fans.
