When an English schoolgirl wrote a letter to Captain Jack Sparrow, the last thing she probably expected was for Johnny Depp to show up, in costume, and give her a hug.But it all happened yesterday in London, according to the Daily Mail. Nine-year-old student Beatrice Delap wrote expressly to Captain Jack, seeking his help in a mutiny against teachers.
She wrote: "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."
Depp, filming 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' in southeast London, showed up at the school with minimal notice. In the full regalia of his iconic 'Pirates' character, Depp, "pulled the letter out of his pocket and said he was going to frame it. Then he called me down and gave me a hug," Delap told the London Evening Standard.
She also told the Daily Mail, "He said, 'Maybe we shouldn't mutiny today 'cause there are police outside monitoring me.'"

What a very unselfish act on Johnny's part! I have always admired him for following his soul and this only seals that admiration. He has held true to himself and shares his tremendous talent, to those of us that love him. Not many men around like that, let alone a man who holds such mystery, in a world that choses to watch his every move. I will forever be a fan of Mr. Johnny Depp.

He is! His name should be Johnny Deep, because unlike the rest of the rich, his thoughts are deep, pure, untouched by his fame. He is always helping the less fortunate. I am sure, if his Hollywood peers don't learn from him, at least his kids will, and he and his family will help change the world. Hurray! Kudos to Johnny!!
Johnny Depp was an actor I always thought was a good actor, but when an actor takes a character and "makes" the character, as Robin Williams also did as the genie, you know he is a really talented real actor. I thank you for making Jack Sparrow I am in love with such a character and the abitlity to be such a great actor is amazing. Now add a wonderfully kind and thoughtful human being and at 61 and still looking for the right man I think I am going to see if you can be cloned. Thanks for showing people that being a wonderful human being with great character has nothing to do with money or fame. More good things to you Mr. Depp forever

If you find a way to clone him, hook us all up! This world needs an army of Johnny's. He owns the character of J.S., and as an actor, he never sold out. Who doesn't love Johnny Depp...
Johnny Depp is one of the richest actors today, yet he never lost his head in the clouds, and still is a true examplary human being, humble, caring, and kind. Nowonder he lives in France, not Hollywood. If only others would learn...

I never cared that much for him but evidently he is a really nice guy. Really good to hear about a celebrity doing something so nice instead of mouthing out politics.

LOVE THE STORY and him! He seems to have his head screwed on straight regarding his life and family...and there is just something very endearing about dear Jack Sparrow.

Not surprising for this man of character. The most brilliant movie entrepreneur whose heart is always in the right place. Way to go, you are one of a kind!
