Johnny Depp visits London School as Capt. Jack

[Rico]

Cool story!

LONDON—Shiver me timbers! Actor Johnny Depp shocked a London school by answering a pupil's fan letter and visiting classes dressed as his character from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series, teachers said Friday.

    Depp, 47, responded after 9-year-old Beatrice Delap sent a letter pleading for help in leading a mutiny against her teachers at Meridian Primary School in Greenwich, a district in southeastern London.

Dressed as his character Captain Jack Sparrow, Depp performed pirate songs and dances for the pupils during the visit with four other cast members on Wednesday.

The actor is currently filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" at the nearby Old Naval College, an opulent 17th-century seafaring center designed by architect Christopher Wren - whose other works include London's St. Paul's Cathedral.

In her letter to Depp, Delap wrote: "We are a bunch of budding young pirates and we're having trouble mutinying against the teachers! We'd love it if you could come and help!"

Johnny is about 90% cool and about 10% fine red wine!  Oh, I saw him in the trailer for that new movie with Angelina Jolie called "The Tourist."  Looks good.

And he is married to Vanessa Paradis who was my child hood crush :D

Was I the only one that instantly thought 'Harkness' instead of 'Sparrow' (despite Depp's name in big letters)?
