Captain Jack Sparrow’s back … not in “Pirates of the Caribbean 6” necessarily — but, Johnny Depp‘s resurrected the character to cheer up some kids going through a rough time.
The actor stopped by a children’s hospital in San Sebastián, Spain … dressed as his loveable pirate Captain Jack — complete with the eyeliner, dreads and his slightly drunken walk.
Check out the video … JD’s got a cheerful hello for the doctors working hard at the locale — appearing to drop the character later on to have a meaningful convo with some of the medical staff on-site.
He took a big group pic with the staff too … capping off what was almost certainly an exciting video for staff and patients alike.
Worth noting … Depp’s out in Spain for the premiere of his new film “Modi – Three Days on the Wing of Madness” — all about a chaotic 72 hours in the life of bohemian artist Amedeo Modigliani. While it doesn’t star Depp, he’s directing it — just the second feature he’s directed.
Many fans want to see Depp back onscreen in big roles too … especially as Jack Sparrow — though that’s looking exceedingly unlikely these days.
Remember … Johnny’s basically been ostracized from Hollywood following his legal troubles with ex Amber Heard — and, that includes Disney moving away from him as Jack.
Rumblings of other “Pirates of the Caribbean” flicks have persisted over the last couple years — including a female-led version starring Margot Robbie — but, there haven’t been substantive talks of Johnny coming back.
Even if he doesn’t set sail onscreen again, one thing’s for sure … Johnny’s always willing to reprise his role for the kids!
