Johnny Depp got a letter from a little girl asking for Captain Jack to help her "mutiny" at her school
Johnny didn't just reply- he showed up at her school as Captain Jack Sparrow!
Man!- If Batman or Han Solo would have shown up at my school in response to a fan letter- I would've peed my pants.
Here's the story and some amature video of the event.
Johnny Depp (aka: Captain Jack Sparrow) Surprises Schoolchildren
By Krista Westervelt on Gather.com
Actor Johnny Depp surprised a group of British schoolchildren on Tuesday. Depp visited the Meridian Primary School in Greenwich dressed as his “Pirates of the Caribbean” character, Captain Jack Sparrow.
Depp has been filming the latest movie in the series at the 18th Century Old Naval College, and took time out from his schedule to visit the children.
The visit was not a completely random one, though. Nine-year-old Meridian student Beatrice Delap had written a letter to Captain Jack Sparrow, requesting his presence:
“Captain Jack Sparrow,
“At Meridian on old Woolwich Road we a[sic] all a bunch of budding young pirates. Normally we’re a right handful but we’re having trouble mutiny-ing against the teachers! We’d love it if you could come and help!
“from Beatrice Delap aged 9 a budding pirate
“PS. We have a plentiful supply of rum!”
Beatrice got a hug from Depp when he arrived, and was told, “Maybe we shouldn’t mutiny today ‘cos there are police outside monitoring me.”
Sounds like Captain Jack may have been more interested in the potential rum than the potential mutiny.
Why a primary school would stock rum, though, is still a mystery. Perhaps it is for the teachers to consume after dealing with students who are “a right handful.”
No matter what, Beatrice Delap sounds like a clever girl; and she is most likely the school hero for getting Johnny Depp to visit Meridian dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow.
