"Welcome to the screening of Pot of Gold: A Few Drinks with Shane MacGowan. The delegation is four-member and very exclusive. Producer Stephen Deuters, protagonist and Shane MacGowan's wife Victoria Clarke, director of the film and one of its producers Julien Temple, another of the producers of the film, one of the protagonists and a man who I really don't need to introduce: JOHNNY DEPP!" This is how the artistic director of the
KVIFF Karel Och introduced the afternoon delegation in the enthusiastically loud, crowded, and disciplinedly draped Great Hall. A half-minute ovation followed.

"Thank you very much for coming to see an extraordinary film about an extraordinary, unique talent. He's one of my heroes and I think he's a poet whose poems people will still be reading in two hundred years, if we're still here. So thank you very much again for coming," Johnny Depp greeted the audience with a promise to return to the Grand Hall for a short discussion at the end of the screening of the documentary Pot of Gold: A Few Drinks with Shane MacGowan.

Johnny Depp, a three-time Oscar nominee, arrived in Karlovy Vary after eleven o'clock on Thursday night. He was greeted by fans at the airport and then in front of Puppet, saying goodbye to him with the phrase "See you tomorrow!". Today, they peacefully gathered in front of Thermal from eleven in the morning, standing in clusters not only around the Tepla River, but also on the street from the Karlovy Vary Post Office to far beyond the garden of the Pizzeria Venezia restaurant.

Before the screening began, Depp greeted them politely and for a long time. He even signed autographs in front of the Great Hall, encouraged by shouts of "Hiiiii, Johnnyyyy!"

In the Irish-British documentary Pot of Gold, he plays himself, namely the lifelong friend of the "cursed" Irish poet and punk musician (frontman of the legendary The Pogues) Shane MacGowan - in authentic footage, with a shot at the table. In choppy dialogue with the main character ("How long have we known each other, anyway? Thirty years?"), they chat casually in the two-hour biopic packed with Irish music and archival footage.

Vary will have another chance to see Johnny Depp on Saturday, August 28th at 1 pm at the Karlovy Vary Municipal Theatre, when he will - again in person - present the drama Minamata by director Andrew Levitas. In it, he also plays the leading male role of the once famous, now slowly dying Life magazine photojournalist Eugene Smith, to whom the scandalous case of the destruction of the Japanese city of Minamata (hence the name) and its inhabitants gives a new meaning to his work and life. Depp also produced the film, based on a true event from the 1970s.

The Varys say they hardly remember such positive "crowd madness": after all, Depp became one of the icons of the nineties thanks to his breakthrough title role in the touching Edward Scissorhands (1990). Half-man, half-machine from the pen of screenwriter Caroline Thompson influenced him so much that he created a congenial creative duo with director Tim Burton: they would create, among others, Ed Wood (1994), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), or Alice in Wonderland (2010).
