Johnny is British, quite adorable and cute. He's a fan of James. I am too, now that I've seen his video. I am more a fan of Johnny though. He takes good care of the fish, the ferocious eaters that he feeds when his family's away. They are quite lovely, swimming around in the pond. And Johnny is quite lovely with his British accent, blond hair, and big eyes. He looks like the James that I know and love. :) I look forward to the Five Awesome Guys. Hope they are all as awesome as Johnny.
