Johnny Depp made a surprise appearance at a London elementary school after receiving a piece of fanmail sent by a nine-year-old fan.
Beatrice Dunlap, 9, wrote a letter to Johnny Depp’s Pirates Of The Caribbean character Captain Jack Sparrow asking for pirate lessons. Then one day the school got a call – saying the Deppster would be there in ten.
Now that’s what we call results.
Johnny is in southeast London filming the new Pirates Of The Carribbean movie, alongside a very pregnant Penelope Cruz, so decided to pay a visit to Beatrice at her school nearby – in full Captain Jack costume.
Here’s what Beatrice’s letter said – we urge you to read it with a cute nine-year-old British girl accent: “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.”
According to witnesses, kids at the school let out “incredible screams of joy” when Johnny walked into the grounds.
After her famous encounter, Beatrice said: “[Johnny] gave me a hug and he said, ‘Maybe we shouldn’t mutiny today ‘cos there are police outside monitoring me.’”
It was a total surprise to the school, no media were invited, no publicity stunt-ness involved – looks like Johnny just wanted to give a bunch of young Brits the best day ever!
