I met "Simone from Rome..."

Just a really quick post as I had a very strange experience yesterday, partly my fault for being English though. I was in London for a concert that my eldest daughter was participating in. Walking down the street to find a Pizza Express and I saw a chap leaning against a lamp post or some such street sign-age. I did a double take as I walked past because I recognised him. I said to my wife, did we just walk past "so and so" but as she's blind to even people that she knows on the street, she had to look back and confirmed my thought.
I went back to check and started with the stupidest line that exists, I said, "Excuse me, do I know you?" Even as I uttered the words I could hear the most obvious response in my head, if someone asked me that question..."How the hell would I know that?" But he was more polite than that and said something along the lines of "I don't know" so I asked him his name and he said "Simone from Rome". Being English and even despite the obvious little white lie, the reason I had gone down this line of questioning is because we don't like to impose or to embarrass people. I am old school, we are reserved and don't really like to harass celebrities.
He then asked my name so I told him and we shook hands and I told him it had been nice to meet him and left.
On getting in the pizzeria, my daughter and her friend were there and they both had a look down the street and both confirmed that I had the DNA of Johnny Depp on my hand.

So I met "Simone from Rome" on the streets of London and didn't ask for an autograph, didn't get a "selfie" and didn't embarrass the poor chap, I hope, and to Johnny Depp, thank you for "Edward Scissorhands", "Benny and Joon", 'Sleepy Hollow", "Sweeney Todd" and "The Lone Ranger" all great films that I have enjoyed immensely and for Captain Jack Sparrow, a great character that I am pretty sure that is an anagram for Simone from Rome but English was never my strong point...

As an addendum, someone else did get a selfie of themselves with Johnny Depp in London yesterday, bugger.
