"It was a complete blast."
How I did it: When public enemies came to Chicago for filming my friends and I kept going to the set. We would wait outside for hours, sometimes all night with tons of other fans all waiting for him to come out after the work day and sign autographs (which he did almost every time). We started hanging around basecamp where his trailer was and became friends with the crew. They had nothing to do all day so they loved flirting with us ;) We just hung out,had fun, and met so many new people. It got to the point where people from the crew would call us and let us know where basecamp was going to be the next day! We befriended Johnny's driver, and even his bodyguard Jerry. This experience was just the most interesting and fun thing that has ever happened to me. Some of us even made lasting friendships, like my best friend, who is now dating and living with Christian Bale's driver. I would have never pictured something like this happening to me. It took a lot of time, determination, driving, and camping out in the cold but it was WELL worth it. By the way, we met Johnny not once, but twice, and he even specifically asked about us :)
Lessons & tips: It will take a lot of waiting time. If you find out one of your favorite celebrities will be in the area, jump on the opportunity. Also, be friendly and talk with EVERYONE. If the crew members like you then they will keep you on the inside loop. Also, most fans will hang around set and sometimes don't get a chance to say hello. However, if you find all the trailers, thats basecamp, and thats where you should hang out. Be respectful, don't act like a crazed fan, and follow the rules. Oh! Another important thing is that sometimes the crew will tell everyone to go home because he's not coming out today. If you really want to meet him, I suggest you stay anyway because the crew likes to spread rumors like that, and he almost always comes out anyway. So, don't give up on someone else's word! This will earn the crew's respect, and that information gets around. Johnny almost always came out to see the people outside basecamp because it's a smaller crowd and well...its RIGHT there! Also, the celebrities more often than not will go to and from set in an unmarked SUV. I hope this helps anyone meet whoever they've been wanting to :)
