Papa Legba Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Forgive me if someone's already come across this and i've missed it, but I've just stumbled across what appears to be the real Don Johnson who's got a profile on YouTube and who's posted videos of his family.TonyD, assuming this isn't an imposter your prayers may have been answered!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LepYE0ed3U4&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LepYE0ed3U4&feature=relatedI'm just not buying it. My gut feeling is saying it's just a fan who's collected photos (like I have) and posted them on youtube. I can't see him doing this.

DJAngel Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I really doubt this is the real Don Johnson, but it's fun to watch them.I really like this one - When He Shines:happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it isn't an imposter, because if you check out the comments section on both the videos and "his" Youtube home page, there's quite a few people on there who will have been well and truly duped!

croc1 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I've seen quite a few Don's in my time. LOL I believe they could have been a bit more original with their choices...As DJAngel says, they are fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ferrariman Posted February 6, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I've often said that if Don were to ever actually join one of our sites we would most likely call him a liar, insult the hell out of him and he would leave and never come back. This is because there have been so many members over the years claiming to know or be him that we just naturally yell fraud. Who knows, we may have already sent him packing!

croc1 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I would hope that 'if' he would ever come around, he'd understand folks being a bit skeptical. Given all the nuts online.

DanJ Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 IMO the site moderators have to check on anyone claiming to be a celebrity, then let the members know one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators timm525 Posted February 6, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 And how exactly would we do that from an IP address?I could be Don and no one would ever know or believe me either. Well...all except Ferrariman, but that's because we talked on the phone and I sound nothing like Don. But..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ferrariman Posted February 6, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hell if I knew how to verify his identity I'd be able to contact him and invite him here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lar Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 That could be the real DJ, but it's a hard pill to swallow. I just can't see him saying "Let's make a YouTube movie!". It is a site where you can potentially reach a LOT of people, though, so you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators timm525 Posted February 6, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Unless he joined and did the "video chat" and we actually saw him and heard him on this site, it would be hard to accept/prove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Legba Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 And the problem is, it's not like you could ask "him" lots of detailed, verifyable questions about his life and career, because a true fan would know all that stuff anyway.One Italian guy made a posting in the comments section in one of the videos, asking "Don" about seven questions in the one post. As if he would answer that lot anyway, even if it was him!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ferrariman Posted February 6, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I watched Jerry Seinfeld on a TV talk show once and they played Seinfeld trivia. Jerry actually couldn't answer 4 out of 5 questions about his own show so yeah, we probably know more about Vice than Don anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators timm525 Posted February 6, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 That is so true about most actors. To them it is just another part they play then forget about. To the die hard fans it is an obsession.James Earl Jones was once giving a talk to an elementary school when all the kids started asking him to quote Darth Vader. He said the only line he could remember saying out of three movies was "I have you now!" He told the kids you know all of them so tell them to me and I will repeat them for you.

Papa Legba Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Just been watching the second video..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pxRZdd8paA&feature=channel_pageCheck out how much like Don, Jesse looks at 2:28. And spookily, check out how much Don's son (Jasper?) looks like a young Clayton Barclay Jones at 4:40! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps his agent?I'm writing this in a jury waiting room on my laptop. They have wireless internet, so I'm ready to go. NEVER THOUGHT I would be able to bring in a computer here.
