Johnny Depp dresses up as Jack Sparrow to visit a London school

101006g2_depp_b-gr_17

These are some newish photos of Johnny Depp, dressed up in character as Jack Sparrow, on set in England yesterday. While he had all of his junk on this morning (or maybe it was yesterday), he also paid a visit to a London school. The photos are here – Johnny looks hilariously deranged standing next to normal children. What would you do if you were a kid and Jack Sparrow came to visit your school? You would freak the f-ck out, right?

OH to be a kid again. Hollywood Lord JOHNNY DEPP was a surprise guest at a London school’s assembly this morning.

The actor – who is currently filming the fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie in Greenwich – took some time out to make an impromptu trip to Meridian primary school dressed as his character Captain Jack Sparrow.

His visit came after one of the school’s pupils, Beatrice, wrote a letter to him saying: “Captain Jack Sparrow, at Meridian Primary School we are a bunch of budding young pirates and we were having a bit of trouble mutiny against the teachers. We’d love it if you could come and help. From Beatrice De Lap aged nine, a budding pirate.”

Teachers only found out the actor was coming ten minutes before he arrived and parents were shocked when their kids came running out telling them what had happened.

Aw… a kid wrote a fan letter and Johnny showed up! That’s magnificent. I imagine there were a few damsels-in-distress/teachers who were swooning too. But just one little criticism, because my mom’s a teacher: I bet those kids weren’t able to be calmed down for the rest of the day. Ideally, this is the kind of visit that should be scheduled for the end of the school day, not the morning. Still, it’s an adorable thing to do, and bless him.

    Kaiser, my mom’s a teacher too, so I agree that it was all downhill from there. But really, who the hell cares. It’s Johnny Depp! Some things are worth saying screw the lesson plans and putting in a movie for the day.

  2. Kaiser says:

    Rachel – Agree. Although my mom doesn’t swoon for Depp, if Jon Hamm came into her classroom, she wouldn’t be able to work for a week.

  3. mln says:

    I am just as in love with Johnny Depp as when I was grade school and he was still on 21 Jump St what a sweetheart.

  4. Obvious says:

    Love him. And he loves his young fans. It’s makes him even hotter.

  5. DelBocaVista says:

    Does this guy do anthing that doesn’t make women want to bang him?

  6. Mairead says:

    Most of the teachers were probably not concentrating much on teaching for most of the day anyway 😆 Although to be fair, as far as I’m aware, assembly, which often have guest speakers – policemen etc., in is usually in the morning in the UK.

    But just how fantastic is Johnny?! He knows that Capt’n Jack Sparrow is far more interesting to children under the age of 11 than “Hollywood Actor Johnny Depp” – savvy? :mrgreen:

  7. kim says:

    I don’t think so, Del. If I say him taking a poop, I’d still bang him. lol.

  8. Missfit says:

    He should do that here in the U.S. LOL

  9. lu says:

    I think the teachers would be more excited than the students XD

  14. Jennifer says:

    Oh God. Now I wish I was a nine year old little girl again and living in England! D:

  15. BethL says:

    He does this all of the time, visiting schools and hospitals as Jack Sparrow. Not to say that it isn’t nice. I’m sure it’s a huge hassel to get in the makeup and custume when he isn’t filming the movies.

  16. viper says:

    Kaiser you’re such a BUZZ KILL on this one. It was all giggles and happy then all grumpy. I WISH I WAS THERE TOO AND WAS A KID TOO BOOT! *hugs kaiser* waaaahahhhhhaaaaaaa!!!!

  17. Raven Sparrow says:

    If he were my man, I’d have him dressed up as Jack Sparrow ALL THE TIME !!!

    He’s such a turn on!

    Vanessa is one lucky chick!

  18. dorothy says:

    God I wish I went to that school!

    Just love him. One of the very few celebrities I would ever say that about. Also, one of the very few I’ve never heard any complaints about.

  22. Kate says:

    This man just keeps getting better.

  23. PsychicEyes says:

    He certainly improves with age … yup, sexy to boot. What a sweetheart for stopping by the school to entertain the kiddies.

  24. sickofit says:

    he is soooooo cool, the kids must have been in a state of positive shock the whole day after he visited

  25. Adrien says:

    That was sweet.

  26. truthzbetta says:

    Keith Richards looks great here, beer belly and kid prank suits him.

    Thank God my real Johnny would never look quite this beat up.

  27. dj says:

    Looks like he’s been on the piss.

  28. Megan says:

    He is such a nice man, I love how he doesn’t believe his own hype one bit and would happily visit a Primary school to surprise some kids. More celebrities should get out of their own bums and think more like Johnny.

  29. Stephanie says:

    Wow what a cool story. 🙂

  30. SammyHammy says:

    What a sweetheart. I just love Depp {{{sigh}}}

    And I’ll bet that little girl is the most popular kid in her school right now! How great is that!

  31. Dannii says:

    @ DelBocaVista yes actually he does-supporting/excusing roman polanski. if it wasn’t for that he’d be perfect, alas.

  32. Jacqueline says:

    way better than santa! and If I had known, I would have been good all year
