HUNTER S. THOMPSON
As you probably know, Johnny played a character from Hunter's classic book 'Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas'. Johnny was very close to Hunter. I say was because Hunter is no longer with us. However, he will
always be in our hearts. A writer to some, a friend to others. He was a great man. Rest in peace Hunter. We'll never forget
you.
here's a HUGE pic of Johnny and Hunter..
KEITH RICHARDS
Legendary Rolling Stone keith Richards is also friends with Johnny. They're not able
to get together much but when they do, I'm sure it's a blast! And of course, Johnny modeled the character of Jack Sparrow
after Keith, (and a little bit of Pepe Le Pew of course).
MARLON BRANDO
Marlon Brando has established himself
as a legendary actor in his fabulous career. Johnny and Marlon were also very close. Johnny was very upset when Marlon passed
on recently and so were many, many other people. Although he isn't actually HERE, his inspirational spirit will live on. 
Johnny and Marlon in the film' The
Brave' which Johnny directed, co-wrote, and starred in.
TIM BURTON
The famously eccentric director Tim Burton
has worked with Johnny several times. From Edward Scissorhands to Ed Wood to Sleepy Hollow and now Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory. They also have a film coming up called 'The Corpse Bride' which has the same animation as Burton's timeless
classic, 'A Nightmare Before Christmas'. Johnny and Tim make a magnificent team!
ALLEN GINSBERG
Although Johnny only knew one of his idols, Allen Ginsberg for a a
short time, they had an incredible bond together. The few times they did speak, they spoke of many things. They both had such
a calm and collected aura when they spoke to each other. It was like..when the spoke, everything in thw world was peaceful.
