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

How cool is this? Man, we never had anything like this when I was in school.

I am soooooo jealous.

Why didn't I think of this in high school?

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.

Reading whole articles is for chumps!

Only because of the police escort that brought him and the cast members there

But still that was so awesome of him to do!

Obviously, he's undermining the system from the inside.

I loved this story! My favorite of the day.

I guess Johnny Depp's a real...*puts on sunglasses* class act.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

This is one of the best stories I've heard in a long time. Not only because Johnny Depp is obviously even awesomer than I originally thought, but those kids are going to have the best memories ever, and on TOP of that, it encourages them to write.
