Joaquin is still not used to dealing with fans and finds encounters frightening: “Celebrity is so not part of my life. If I’m walking around and somebody comes up with a camera, it terrifies me. I can imagine that if you are Johnny Depp, for years you’ve had such a level of fame that you are somewhat accustomed to it and you expect it when you go out. I’ve managed to avoid it to the extent where I sometimes get trapped in situations that I don’t know how to deal with. I feel overwhelmed. But I’d rather be overwhelmed in these moments and enjoy my life privately. I’ve been able to have the life I want.”

Leona was punched in the face by a fan during an autograph signing and made a statement following the incident which read: “Now I’m very frightened about going out in public. I don’t know where the next attack will come from and if this will be more serious than what has happened.”
