The 19-year-old British Pakistani singer, who is a huge fan of Depp, turned down the invitation to visit the actor's studio during their trip to the US because he did not want to embarrass himself, reported Sun online.
"I was too nervous to go. I am a massive, massive fan and I didn't want to embarrass myself so I let the boys go without me. Hopefully, there will be a next time. The boys said he was totally cool. I kind of regret it for sure and the lads said I was a scared cat," he said.
Johnny got the other bandmates - Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan, round for a jam session as a treat for his daughter, Lily-Rose.
"Some of our fans get so excited or nervous when they meet us and that's how I was at the thought of being with Johnny. But instead of lapping it up and enjoying it, I ran the other way."
