Yesterday the real Captain Jack Sparrow made a memorable visit to surprise patients at Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital in Australia.

Johnny Depp arrived via helicopter in full costume, alongside costar Stephen Graham – who plays pirate Scrum in the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” They spent more than three hours with sick children, posing for photos and giving plenty of handshakes and hugs.
