Favorite music
Johnny's favorite album by Bob Dylan is "Blood on the Tracks". He described it:
"That line from ‘You’re a Big Girl Now’ - With a pain that stops and starts * Like a corkscrew to my heart * Ever since we’ve been apart - kills me every time. Heartbreaking. The man Dylan is incapable of a bad moment.”
In an interview in connection with the "Alice Through The Looking Glass" premiere together with producer James Bobin in 2016 he talks about one of his favorite songs:
"There's a song by Charles Trenet called 'La Mer'. Bobby Darin did a English speaking cover of the song called 'Beyond the Sea' and that song some reason, even as a child, it hit me hard."
Johnny has extensive roots in Europe, including British, French, Belgian and German.
As a kid, he tried to train lizards.
The Comanche Native American social activist and politican LaDonna Harris adopted him as a son of honour and named him "Mah Woo May", which means "Shape Shifter".
Johnny's favorite dessert is Sticky Toffee Pudding.
In 2012, he got into the Guinness Book Of Records for being so well-paid.
Johnny collects (or collected) stuffed piranhas, bugs and film props.
For the role of Willy Wonka, he imagined George Bush smoking too much weed.
It was through the drummer in his band Six Gun Method (The Kids) that Johnny met Lori Anne Allison.
Johnny is not enthusiastic about chocolate. As a kid, he was actually allergic to chocolate. Juliette Binoche, who played the main character in the film "Chocolat", said the following:
"He was spitting it out after each take. [Fellow co-star] Alfred Molina didn't like chocolate that much, either. It was a funny experience dealing with them and the faces they would make."
