A few days ago, cell phone footage of Johnny Depp surprising amusement park guests by portraying Captain Jack Sparrow on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland began to make rounds on the internet. Now, in conjunction with the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Disney has released this short publicity video highlighting the surprise visit.
While this stunt was just for the purpose of marketing the upcoming fifth installment in the Pirates franchise, this type of behavior is not uncharacteristic for Depp. The actor has been known to travel with the Jack Sparrow costume and take time to visit children’s hospitals, which is pretty noble.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales opens May 26, 2017.
