Johnny Depp pays surprise visit to school as Jack Sparrow

[Cpt Matt Sparrow]

My wife came back today and said in the town she teaches, a neighbouring school had a surprise from Johnny Depp dressed as Cpt Jack. They had been filming in the old Royal Naval college in Greenwich and Johnny had received a letter from a little girl saying she was doing a project on pirates and could he come in some time.

Much to everyone's surprise the school got a ten minute warning that if they wanted Depp would pay the girl and the class a visit. What a lovely thing to do.

Here is the video

That was fantastic Johnny Depp is such a kind decent man, I had heard he was very kind and to do this is amazing and will leave a fsntastic life long memory for these children.

I have worked on the site they are filming on as well, it is a really nice set of buildings that used to be the Naval HQ for the British Empire but is now a university. As you walk around the building you can feel and see its history! while I was there I was given a store room which had been Admiral Nelsons office!!!!!!! what a fucking historic place for storing shit!

'Help us mutiny': Johnny Depp pays surprise visit to London primary school dressed as Jack Sparrow after letter from girl, 9

It's not every day a Hollywood heart-throb pitches up in your classroom.
But these Greenwich schoolgoers left the rest of Britain's children - if not parents - green with envy when they had a surprise visit from Johnny Depp yesterday.

The star is currently in south-east London filming the fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie On Stranger Tides and arrived at the Meridian Primary School dressed in full character as Captain Jack Sparrow.

He made the one-off trip after nine-year-old pupil Beatrice Delap wrote to the star asking for help staging a 'mutiny' against the teachers, as he was filming at the nearby 18th century Old Naval College.

The school was told just ten minutes before that Depp would be arriving and two blacked-out cars swept through the school gates.

An onlooker said she heard the most 'incredible screams of joy' as the actor, in full make-up, then entered the school.

In an interview on London Tonight after the visit, Beatrice revealed what she had written in the letter to the star - or rather his salty seadog alter ego.

She said: 'Captain Jack Sparrow, At Meridian Primary School, we are a bunch of budding young pirates and we were having a bit of trouble mutiny-ing against the teachers, and we'd love if you could come and help.

'Beatrice Delap, aged nine, a budding pirate.'

She said that she was then asked by the star to make herself known from the assembled pupils once he arrived, and gave her a cuddle.

Beatrice marvelled: 'He gave me a hug and he said, "Maybe we shouldn't mutiny today 'cos there are police outside monitoring me."'

Cheers for that Davex

Also this isn't the first time he has done this kind of thing (how nice to say that and it be something so altruistic!). Recently too (last year) he paid a visit in costume to Great Ormand Street Hospital in London which is a hospital that specialises in treating children that are very ill.
