A gut feeling paid off for Alexandra Hills mum Kaylynn Ludwig, who rushed to Raby Bay this morning with the faint hope of meeting her movie idol Johnny Depp.
Her hunch paid off and just after 8am she was standing face-to-face with the movie star - albeit still in her pyjamas.
Depp, 51, in Cleveland for filming of the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, saw Ms Ludwig's two-year-old daughter Chelsea and rushed over to say "Hi".
"I couldn't believe it - he lived up to his celebrity status and came over to shake hands with my daughter - he's a real star," Ms Ludwig said.
"He was so nice and said hello to my daughter and shook her hand.
"If you look at the video, you can see he was waving and then he started coming towards me.
"But he was being ushered away and had to go - but we were able to get a selfie before he left."
Ms Ludwig said she was in such a rush to get to Raby Bay to meet the star, she didn't have time to change out of her spotted pyjamas and uggh boots.
