'We just established that I'm a Belieber,' Depp told the teen sensation at a recent junket promoting the actor's upcoming animated film.

A group of lucky reporters witnessed what may be the surprise celebrity encounter of the year over the weekend, when Justin Bieber waltzed into a press conference for the forthcoming animated film "Rango" with Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin and director Gore Verbinski. Coincidentally enough, Depp had just answered a question as to whether or not he was a "Belieber," since he'd taken his kids to a concert by the teen pop phenom back in December.
"Hey, pal!" a surprised Depp exclaimed as Bieber waved "hello" by flashing a peace sign from the back of the room. The young singer then approached the cast to shake hands — and received a round of applause from the audience while doing so.
"We just established that I'm a Belieber," Depp said.
"I'm a big fan of you, so I had to come support you," Bieber replied. "I just wanted to say 'hi.' I heard you were in the building."
Talk about worlds colliding! When MTV News caught up with Depp on Sunday, we asked him about the meeting, and whether his kids were green with envy at the fact that dear old dad met the "Never Say Never" star before they did.
"My daughter was most definitely jealous," Depp said of 11-year-old Lily-Rose's reaction upon hearing the news. "Justin, bless him, he's a very sweet guy. He had a pair of his purple glasses in his pocket [and] he said, 'Oh yeah, give these to Lily-Rose.' She was very chuffed [British slang for being really pleased] about that. She was very touched.
"He's a good guy," Depp continued. "A sweet guy."
Aw, that Justin Bieber — making Beliebers out of everyone, he is.
Check out everything we've got on "Rango."
