Johnny Depp is an awesome actor, and Captain Jack Sparrow is an awesome film character, but what they did as one earlier this week is so much more than awesome.
Depp was in Australia filming his next movie, the latest installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series--Dead Men Tell No Tales, and took time out of filming and his schedule to visit a local children's hospital. This in and of itself is awesomely sweet, but he didn't appear as his regular real-life celebrity self.
Nope...he showed up as Sparrow. Captain Sparrow. Costume and all.
Here is video below, provided by NTDTV:
Depp's co-star Stephen Graham, who plays pirate Scrum in the installment, joined him in the surprise appearance. He also appeared in costume and character as Scrum.
You cannot not smile and grin at watching the kids' shocked, excited and humbled looks on their faces. Just magical.
This is one of the sweetest and coolest celebrity charity appearances in this past year (and probably of this decade so far), and that's been without formal announcement, and hasn't been planned by the actor or the hospital, and is an amazing example of celebrities being kind, courteous and loving towards children outside of their acting careers.
Three cheers to you, Captain ans Scrum!
