This is why Johnny Depp isn’t just an actor, celebrity or multi-millionaire, but a freakin’ movie star.Celebrities receive tons of fan mail every day, and after being famous for decades like Johnny Depp, most people would be pretty jaded or out of touch with their fans by now. But, when nine-year-old Beatrice Delap, wrote “Captain Jack Sparrow” a letter asking him to help her and her other classmates stage a “mutiny” against their teachers, she was smart enough to give him the name of her school and signed it “Beatrice Delap, aged nine, a budding pirate.”
Since he was in the area filming Pirates of the Caribbean 4, he decided to visit the school while still in full costume. Without warning the school, the kids or the teachers, Depp arrived at her school in full Jack Sparrow character and dress. Everyone was surprised and no one had any idea why he was there—except for Beatrice.
Depp asked for Beatrice and when she came forth, he whispered to her: “Maybe we shouldn’t mutiny today ‘cos there are police outside monitoring me.” He gave Beatrice a hug, joked with the whole classroom about eating lots of candy and not brushing their teeth, never breaking character, and asked for a big round of applause for Beatrice. He then strutted out of the room and back into their imaginations.
