My Valentine

My daughter, Stella, suggested the original idea to have Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp use sign language to portray my recent song, My Valentine

Paul McCartney – From paulmccartney.com, May 25, 2012

It was great having them round. Natalie came over with her husband and new baby, which was very lovely, very family. Johnny came over and he has a friend who makes guitars out of lots of things like cigar boxes and wine cases, and he brought over a wine case-bass for me. He also sent over a little cigar box amp and guitar which is fantastic and so we had a jam. And I had to stop and say we better do this film!

Paul McCartney – From For Whom The Bell Tells, December 31, 2012

McCartney would soon use this cigar box guitar, to record “Cut Me Some Slack” with the ex-Nirvana members.

The “My Valentine” promo films were premiered at the Stella McCartney store in Los Angeles, in April 13, 2012.
