Pirate Johnny Depp makes surprise school visit

[The Dragon Master]

Hollywood star Johnny Depp has made an unannounced visit to a London primary school after receiving a letter from one of its pupils.



The actor turned up at the school in Greenwich, south-east London, dressed as his Pirates of the Caribbean alter-ego Captain Jack Sparrow.



He said nine-year-old Beatrice had written to Captain Jack, asking him to lead a mutiny against her teachers.



Depp, 47, has been filming the latest instalment of the franchise in London.



After his arrival, a special school assembly was called and the film star - along with other members of the cast dressed in full costume - walked in.



Depp produced Beatrice's letter and performed for the children for 15 minutes.



But he told the schoolgirl that a mutiny might get them into trouble.



Footage of the surprise appearance was sent to CBBC's Newsround programme.

What a wonderful thing for him to do for Beatrice.

Wonder if I send him a letter if he'll come to my house!

Bless him! What a star! What a really lovely thing to do.

Of course, he'll be deluged with teeny-bopper fans sending him begging letters asking him to create a mutiny at their schools now.....

Wow, that was really nice of him! I've never had anything like that happen at our school, unfortunately. Would be kind of cool though, if something like that happened. Sadly, I'm no longer in school so this is basically wishful thinking right there...
