Johnny Depp’s working on a new movie in Vancouver.
And since Western Canada’s pretty far from the Caribbean, it’s safe to say it’s a non-pirate project.
But that didn’t stop him from releasing his alter-ego, Captain Jack Sparrow … all to the delight of some sick kids in desperate need of a pirate party.
Johnny Depp was in his full Captain Jack Sparrow getup for a surprise visit to the British Columbia Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.
Well, almost full getup.
Johnny Depp (as Captain Jack Sparrow): “I have no sword — I come in peace.”
No real sword? No problem.
That didn’t stop Captian Jack and his new mateys from some friendly sword fighting.
This wasn’t some pop-in visit.
Johnny hung around for hours — taking lots of pics and putting smiles on plenty of faces.
The hospital says he met with every single patient!
Patient: “I didn’t wake up in the morning knowing that I was going to see Johnny Depp today! That’s so cool.”
And though he’s a pirate, there’s just something about that Captain Jack Sparrow charm.
Johnny Depp (as Captain Jack Sparrow): “I’m so sorry, were you still talking?”
So while Jack Sparrow always gets himself into trouble on the high seas … In here, it’s nothing but friendly faces.
