(1990) We were back on the set of Survive 2, deep in the eerie woods of Camp Redwood. Today’s scene was just Johnny Depp and Jennifer Aniston — or rather, Kam and Cara. Kam, the ghost trapped in the cursed camp, and Cara, the girl who couldn’t stay away. They were filming a heart-wrenching moment, full of longing and love, and when they kissed, the whole crew went silent. It was emotional… intense.
I stood just off-camera with Stevie Nicks and Leonardo DiCaprio, watching. And even though I knew they were acting — that it was just a scene — a twinge of jealousy hit me. Not because I didn’t trust Johnny, but because I’m new to acting. I’m Madonna, the Queen of Pop. I’m used to commanding the stage, not watching the man I love kiss someone else, even if it’s pretend.
But I reminded myself — Jennifer is my best friend. She’s with Brad. She would never cross that line. And Johnny? He’s mine. Still, standing there in the shadows of Camp Redwood, watching their scene unfold, I couldn’t help but feel something twist in my chest. I glanced over at Brad Pitt, one of my best friends, he didn't look jealous that his girlfriend Jennifer is kissing his best friend Johnny.
