Is this what made Depp go-go for new love?
THIS is the Russian go-go girl who has set Johnny Depp’s heart dancing, showing off the moves that would one day captivate the Hollywood star.
Captured at the start of her career as a nightclub entertainer, Polina Glen entrances wealthy Russians by dancing on a bar top in her home town, St Petersburg.
Just 17 at the time, the dancer wears a black leotard and stockings to entertain a leering young crowd at the fashionable nightspot Nebar, described in guides as ‘oozing with upper income gents and the ladies who love them’. She was photographed in 2012 soon after leaving school, having won the Miss Nebar title in a beauty contest with a €1,400 prize that helped her open her own dance school.
One judge, writer Alexander Tsypkin, recalled her winning performance and described her as ‘a very intelligent and clever girl – she had something to talk about’.
A friend recalled how Miss Glen was ‘ambitious and driven’. And another said: ‘She got to university early, and studied and worked at the same time, all by herself, without anybody’s help.’
Miss Glen, now 23, is believed to have moved to the US two years ago to advance her career as a dancer and choreographer. She is reported to have met Depp at a party in Los Angeles last year.
The 55-year-old actor is said to have become besotted with her as he recovered from an acrimonious divorce battle with actress Amber Heard after a 15-month marriage.
The relationship is serious enough for the dancer to move into his LA mansion, sources said.
