The actor demanded a thousand dollars for each brief rendez-vous, earning around 2.5 million rubles ($40,000) overall after seeing 40 fans. Businesswoman Anastasiya Niyazgulova, who was among those who signed up for a tête-à-tête meeting with Depp, shared her impressions:
"I entered the room, and felt amnesic at once due to an incredible tremor. I started speaking Russian to Depp, said something like: 'Here you are, my sweetheart. I came here only because of you!' We hugged each other, and Johnny gave me a quick smack on a cheek. We took a couple of pictures, then he turned to me and started closely examining my face."
Anastasiya said she felt a bit awkward at the time. She addressed him in English asking how things were, prompting his answer: "Oh, everything is fine, thanks." Several seconds later, the meeting was over, the woman complained.
