I'd be surprised if someone could get close enough to really start fangirling hard at him. But honestly why would any of us do that? "I appreciate your work" would be polite, if one had the chance to get close enough to speak to him. Much more would be pushing. True, celebrities should expect to be approached and it would be gracious to give an autograph if asked, but if he said yes to one, when is the cutoff? 10, 25? In his time I'm sure he's had lots of people try to approach him and not respect his personal space. Maybe not so much nowadays, but still if he's out with his family I think people should respect his right to be in a public space without fans hanging all over him. He still has bodyguards with him? That seems ludicrous and unnecessary in 2019. Maybe in 1985. Anyway, makes sense since you can't get a gun in California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen pics and videos of him in public with his wife, with Dakota, or with Melanie Griffith and there have definitely been guys who look like they are bodyguards. Usually (in videos) people are calling out to him, trying to get his attention, and of course the people taking the photos and videos. So I don't know if it's really unnecessary. If no one was trying to photograph or film him every time he goes out, I'm sure he wouldn't keep paying people to perform as bodyguards.

I agree with Dadrian--plenty of people are still around who remember him; he looks quite good for his age; and he has worked regularly in the intervening years, although never with the white-hot popularity he achieved with MV. Hard to say if the general public that is too young to remember MV would recognize him but I think he's well-known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, makes sense since you can't get a gun in California. There are over 350, 000 guns registered in California, the third highest in the nation. What does that mean? https://www.statista.com/statistics/215655/number-of-registered-weapons-in-the-us-by-state/ I've lived in the LA area my whole life, worked in television production for a few years, and have met many celebrities over the years. I'd say several dozen. The only circumstances I've seen them use bodyguards is at big events where large crowds know they will be there such as premiers, award shows, talk show tapings, etc... Most celebrities, even big ones at that moment, can go out by themselves, typically with some sunglasses and a hat. It happens all the time. However, I don't see how them having a gun would in any way help with fans or the paparazzi. That could go horribly wrong. That being said... I have met and approached some pretty big celebrities in non-event situations and have had positive interactions almost without exception. I don't bother someone if they're eating, or interacting with their family, or a few other circumstances. I typically say I enjoy their work, as someone else mentioned, and often try to mention something in particular. For example, I met Clint Eastwood years ago at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. I mentioned I was a big fan of Play Misty For Me, his directorial debut. This was not long after he had directed Unforgiven (I'm dating myself). He was very nice in his response and thanked me for the kind words. Over the years I've met James Garner, my favorite actor of all time, Steven Spielberg, Liz Taylor, Sean Connery, Morgan Freeman, Sharon Stone, Martin Scorsese, Tom Selleck, Quentin Terantino, and many others, no one from Miami vice though. If you live long enough in the area, you're going to run into at least a few celebrities. For the last several years I've lived at a marina in Long Beach and those interactions are far fewer. When I lived on the west side of LA they were far more common. Edit: I did meet Julia Roberts at a Sur la Table of all places, so I did meet someone on Miami Vice. Funny, I never put those two together! Edited May 14, 2019 by pahonu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicegirl85 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 To clarify, I don't think DJ has armed bodyguards.

Matt5 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Don and his wife were at the new Quentin Tarantino film premiere “Once upon a time in Hollywood” on Monday night. I was searching for news on the New Nash Bridges series that will be aired fall 2020. This is a nice piece and with great photos of the man with a mention of Nash Bridges also. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7278065/Don-Johnson-69-takes-rare-photo-wife-20-years-Kelley-Phleger-50.html Edited July 25, 2019 by Matt5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
