1. Like many movie stars, he is surprisingly short.
Not that short! I stood next to him and he's about 5' 9" - 5' 10". I don't think that's short.

I wouldn't consider 5'9" to 5'10" short either. There are a number of famous people who really are "surprisingly short", Johnny seems more like smallish to average height to me. If he's really 5'9", 5'10", he's got a couple inches on me, and I don't consider myself to be 'undersized'. Anyway, I hope this girl can see there's more to Johnny than how tall he is or how well he can ride a horse. I'm slightly confused about the sequence of filming. That article makes it sound like they already shot in Canyon De Chelly, as it says "filming was done in three main parts of Canyon De Chelly"... Is that true? I thought that's where they were headed after Monument Valley.

Well, I'm a shortie (5'), and I can tell you, standing next to Johnny's wax figure at Madame Tussaud's, he seemed pretty tall to me (had a hard time getting my arm around his shoulders for a pic!)
Now Tom Cruise, he's short.

But if he was anywhere near Armie (6' 5") he would look like a midget, as would most anyone else!
Y'all horses, be nice to Tonto!!!

Navajo Times 'Lone Ranger' producer: Filming on rez a 'privilege'
By Cindy Yurth Tséyi' Bureau
CHINLE, April 19, 2012
Filming the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies, TV's "Amazing Race" and "CSI," producer Jerry Bruckheimer has worked in some pretty exotic locales.
But he ranks the past two weeks filming "The Lone Ranger" in Canyon de Chelly and Monument Valley among his best experiences - largely, he said, because of the people.
"The scenery is, of course, amazing," Bruckheimer said Thursday while taking a break in his comfortable, but hardly lavish, motor home at the film's base camp across from the Thunderbird Lodge.
"But what I'm taken by is how gracious, friendly and wonderful the Navajo people are," he said. "People are so cheerful and so helpful, they've made it a great experience for the whole crew."
Asked if there have been any obstacles, he replied, "Only the clouds."
The crew faced high winds and a blizzard two weeks ago in Monument Valley and will be returning to film some scenes they didn't get to but they're on their way out of Chinle, right on schedule.
Bruckheimer estimated about 10 percent of the movie will include shots from Navajoland. Other locations include Creede, Colo., Albuquerque and Moab, Utah.
Asked why he wanted to remake the classic Western hero story, Bruckheimer said he's been trying to get his hands on the rights to "The Lone Ranger" story for years.
"I want to remind the country that something magical happened in 1933," he said, referring to the year "The Lone Ranger" first aired as a radio show. "I'm from Detroit, which is where it all started, so it's reminiscent for me."
He chose Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly for the classic red sandstone scenery.
"Look around," he said. "Just walk in that canyon. It's one of the most beautiful sites in the world. Everybody who lives here should consider themselves lucky."
Bruckheimer said his crew is well aware they are filming on some of the most sacred lands in Diné Bikéyah, and they had a medicine man do a blessing before they started filming.
The film's stars, Johnny Depp (who plays Tonto) and Armie Hammer (the Lone Ranger), are equally charmed by the locals, Bruckheimer reported.

I'm betting that was Johnny's idea. He had the same thing done before the start of filming The Brave.

I love the way Johnny is so respectful of others. No doubt in my mind that prior to starting on the project, the team decided to act as guests of the Navajos and maintain always the dignity of these beautiful people.

I'm sure Johnny is a shinning light to The People.

Johnny is truly an angel, and his respect for others is truly awe inspiring, I am proud to be one of his admirers

So there really is something he's not great at, like we've all been asking for ages!

Or maybe he just gets bad, uncooperative horses.
