    Love all things Captain Jack Sparrow, especially the actor Johnny Depp for bringing this character to life for all.

    1. Jill A Sackett

      Best Disney character ever!
      Thank you, Johnny Depp
      You are Disney’s loss
      I hope they are missing you!

        I love Captain Jack Sparrow🥰 especially with Johnny playing him he’s the best. He just has this perfect way that he warms everyone’s heart no matter what age you are.

        1. Cindi

          TRUE❤

      Hmmm. The article left out who was playing Captain Jack Sparrow. I bet it was not Johnny. 🥺

      1. Patty Hensley

        If it’s not Johnny Depp it’s not Captain Jack Sparrow. Disney’s idea was for a totally different pirate. The one we all love was all Johnny’s idea. Disney should be ashamed!

      2. Lawna Gibson

        Exactly what I was thinking! So who was playing Johnny’s character? I love Johnny Depp..Disney..YOU DID HIM WRONG!😠

    Thanks to the cast member here. He made a manvs day without making fun of his disability (not so easy to do, most that try to make light of my s outer do not mean to, but make me feel a bit awkward, but I do not hold it against them). But to liken the cane to a sword is so smart, and the man loved it. I cannot imagine losing sight. Then going to a theme park, losing that visual input (and still have fun). Good luck to the father!

  3. Johnny is so sweet in so many ways. This interaction is one of many that tickles my heart about this man. My mom passed away absolutely adoring him.

    1. Jill A Sackett

      Not sure that was JD, even though he is in Paris
      Something tells me he’s not visiting Disney parks these days

      1. TwoKats

        It doesn’t say when the interaction with the blind man happened, does it? I might’ve missed it. It could’ve been before all the awful Disney mutiny happened. Disney really lost a treasure when they gave up on Johnny Depp. I never paid much attention to him before the trial, but now I can’t wait to watch Depp’s movies. I’m now a fan!

      2. Lyn

        He had visited Disney parks long before the trial and long before they did what they did to him so yeah he’s not visiting them now but he did visit them then

      3. Pammie

        As nice as that was, there pushing the fact that anyone can be Cpt Jack Sparrow and they don’t need JD to play him. The mouse became a rat!

        1. Xander

          He’s a character in the parks. Just like all the princesses and other characters are played by different cast members across the world. Are we just gonna get rid of all characters because they’re not played by the original cast who brought them to life?

      4. Bee

        jfc people ~READ! JD was not @ effin Disney. ffs –

      5. Deece

        You are absolutely right Jill. This is a blatant rip off of J.Depps work. And we do notice your trying to keep advertising and selling Capt. JACK SPARROWS merchandise without paying proceeds to JOHNNY DEPP. SHAME ON YOU RP OFFs!

    2. Nycole

      It was not Johnny, it was a Disney cast member.

  4. Temperance

    Kudos to Capt. Jack you made Johnny Depp proud!

  5. Susan Bacon

    Johnny Depp is Captain Jack Sparrow, how many stars does Disney have that go to hospitals to make sick kids smile?
    I think he’s owed an apology from Disney.

    1. Jill A Sackett

      I’m with you!

    2. Tam

      I agree. A VERY LONG OVERDUE APOLOGY. Disney doesn’t care about him, or anyone , really. It is ALL about the MONEY, & their “reputation ”
      I won’t have anything to do with Disney. Not their toys or products anymore. #TRUTHOUTSHINESTHEDARKNESS #JOHNNYDEPPSIMPLYTHEBEST

    I know exactly how your father feels about meeting Captain Sparrow. When I was 3 my family went to Disneyland. I’m the youngest of 6 and did not know how to tie me shoes. I was crying and crying because my shoe came untied. My mom next saw me sitting with Dopey and he was showing me how to tie them. That’s how I learned to tie my shoes. Thank you Dopey!!!

    Does Disney realise what they have lost ! Such a fantastic character and underneath all that makeup what a talented, fantastic thoughtful man Johnny Depp is ….brilliant ! love Disney too x

    1. Carmina

      Disney needs to apologize to Johnny depp I wasn’t fan of drpp until I watched the trial and I watch his movies what talent jack sparrow is the most brilliant carater depp is an magnificent actor and an respectful and a man with honor he’s not perfect like we all but he’s life was through to the media with lies and EVil jealous from a womem
      Disney needs to bring Jack sparrow back and apologize to Johnny depp

      1. Sheila S

        Johnny Depp is Captain Jack Sparrow, anyone masquerading as Captain Jack is a fraud and should cease and desist. Disney is all about the profit, they care nothing about the kind talented actor who brought them millions and then betrayed him. I would never consider a pirate movie without The real Captain Jack!

    2. Kim

      I DON’T THINK THEY CARE, SADLY. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE DUMPED DISNEY SINCE THE RECENT NONSENSE WITH AMBER HEARD!!! NOBODY CAN REPLACE JOHNNY DEPP AS CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW!!!!

      1. Jeff

        That’s not entirely true. People have actually dumped Disney over other reasons that matter most.

        1. Jeff

          He is the best, and trust me, even the other actors of “Pirates” know that JDepp is the difference between them getting a paycheck and them getting a great paycheck.

          He is the best, and trust me, even the other actors of “Pirates” know that JDepp is the difference between them getting a paycheck and them getting a great paycheck.

    3. Elton Hammonds

      There is no Captain Jack Sparrow without Johnny Depp!!! Disney needs to stop their support for forcing homosexuality upon children and hire Depp back with a public apology!!!

  8. Lesley Porton

    Johnny Depp is the most humble,kind,caring and generous human being. I’m sure he’s one of earth’s angels because he helps people and genuinely cares about them especially children. He’s a wonderful person and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.He brings joy and fun to all ages. He’s got a beautiful heart.

    1. Jacqueline Trusell

      I think it’s so sad , how people can do so much harm to loving , caring, humble people. It happens way too much. There is no reason for it. Why do people choose to be so self absorbed, to hurt good people because they are good. It makes the good people stronger and the others be weaker.. I love Johnny Depp for his talent. But more importantly for the MAN he is. Easy on the eyes too.

  9. Finally a happy story.
    There is a cm in Hollywood Studios that got to talking to me while I was getting a wheelchair, he was just making conversation and asked why I needed it (I don’t have a visible problem) I told him I had had cancer anyway it left me with very bad hips. He told me he had eye cancer. I told him we should go to a party he could keep an eye out for people having to much fun and I would be the “party pooper”. I had had rectal cancer. We both laughed way to long and hugged before I left. This was probably 8 years ago and it still makes me smile. That’s Disney Magic.

    1. TwoKats

      What a great memory! Praying you’re cancer is gone. ❤️

  10. Laurie

    The story should mention that it was not Johnny Depp playing the part of Captain Jack Sparrow seeing as they dumped him and left him high and dry before a verdict.

    1. John

      Agree 100%. Writers of articles these days are reaching to get views. The only reason people even too a quick view at the article was because of the title.

  11. Brandi

    But was it the real Captain Jack? Everything in me is hoping that was. Disney messed up big time by their actions against Johnny Depp. The franchise will never be the same without the one and only Captain Jack Sparrow.

  13. Heidi Balla

    Incredible story about the character, Jack Sparrow and this gentleman.

  14. Raiseyourkids

    It never credits Depp for this, Just says captain sparrow ran into him over and over. More likely it was a homeless man doing a voice or Disney hired someone to go up to him. Now they’re going with the “we do have a heart” claim.

  15. Julie Holm

    Disney, who I no longer respect, dumps Johnny Depp
    and further shames themselves by capitalizing on the
    character Depp created. It shows the quality of the character of the people making decisions at disney.
    It is good that some visitors are smiling at the image
    of Captain Jack Sparrow, but it is good too, that they
    acknowledge what disney is doing — it is greed and
    dishonesty — but not Johnny Depp.

    1. Wendy Christensen

      JOHNNY DEPP IS THE 1 TRUE CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW!

  16. Sheryl Brunelle

    Disney should bow to Johnny Depp for the millions they’ve made off of the character of Jack Sparrow, instead they fire him for rumors….discussing!!

  17. Patti

    Johnny is great wherever he is. Whether it be kids or adults. He is incredible! Has a huge heart of caring. Being a celebrity has not changed him at all. Like he says, he’s still the same guy, Just with a strange job. Johnny is GREAT! Wish more could have a heart like his.

  18. Michelle

    Best actor of the 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s and beyond- ever.

    Love you Johnny very much!

  19. Jeff

    Disney is working on a deal to bring Johnny Depp back to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise for a whopping $301 million.

    1. Wendy

      Really?

      1. Lana

        Just love him from my heart the first person who I see can bring to life every character that he portrays

  20. J e

    These are the kind if stories that make you think there is hope for humanity!! Because lately I’ve been really wondering!! Thanks for writing this and keeping hope alive a little longer!!

  21. Jim F

    I go to WDW quite often and every time I’ve interacted with any Captain Jack he has always beat out every other interaction I’d had that day. Idk if it’s just a coincidence that théyve been the best or if Disney chooses them because they’re so góod. But wow these guys have all really just been so amazing.

  22. This is one of the many reasons why I and others Love this man! It shows how generous and caring as he shares his talented gift just to put a smile on many faces no matter the age, health condition, no matter the color of skin to take time out of his own busy life and time for others to show no matter who they are…. they DO Matter! God Bless Johnny “Jack Sparrow” ,Depp❤️🙏

  23. Cathy

    if it ain’t Johnny, it ain’t Jack!

  24. Andrew

    This is actually a heartwarming story.
    But, it leaves me with a lot of questions.
    Was this actually Johnny Depp or a local person employed to portray Captain Sparrow?
    Was there any other conversation exchanged between the park visitor and the Captain?
    Where were the visitors from?
    Did they stay at the park long (was it a multi day trip)?

  25. Lisa

    Wasn’t it said that he couldn’t dress up as the character after they let him go?
