Washington DC, June 19

Johnny Depp gave a surprise to kids at Nino Jesus University Children's Hospital, reported People.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star donned his famous Jack Sparrow getup once again to pay kids at the Madrid-based hospital a visit on June 16, as he continues to spend time in Spain to film his newest project Day Drinker, as per the outlet.

Photos of Depp, 62, showed the actor as his iconic pirate character touching pinkies with smiley kids as he visited them in their hospital rooms.

In September 2024, the actor visited kids at Donostia University Hospital in San Sebastian, Spain, per the hospital's social media, while the Sweeney Todd star was in town for the San Sebastian Film Festival, reported People.

At that hospital, Depp visited patients admitted to the Pediatrics and Oncology ward. Depp previously visited hospitals' children's wards as Jack Sparrow around the world, from Vancouver, Paris, London, and Brisbane, Australia, to several cities in the U.S.

Depp famously portrayed Jack in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise beginning with 2003's The Curse of the Black Pearl, alongside Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley.

He went on to reprise his role in four more Pirates films: Dead Man's Chest (2006), At World's End (2007), On Stranger Tides (2011) and Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017), reported People.

What a heartwarming gesture by Johnny Depp! Indian celebrities should take inspiration from this. Our kids in hospitals would love to meet their favorite Bollywood characters too. Imagine Shah Rukh Khan visiting as Don or Ranveer Singh as Simmba! 🥰

My nephew is a huge Jack Sparrow fan! This news made me emotional. These small acts of kindness make such a big difference in children's lives. Hollywood stars have this beautiful tradition of hospital visits - wish we saw more of this in India beyond just promotional events.

While this is nice, I wonder why he doesn't visit Indian hospitals? We have so many children who would love to meet Jack Sparrow. Maybe our film festivals should invite him so he can do similar visits here. Just a thought!

Johnny Depp is truly a gem! After all his personal struggles, he still takes time to bring joy to sick children. This is the real definition of stardom - not just box office numbers but touching lives. More power to him! ❤️

The pictures are so wholesome! But I hope the hospital staff ensured proper hygiene protocols. These are immunocompromised children after all. Maybe they could have done a controlled event in a common area instead of room visits?

Jack Sparrow was my childhood hero! Seeing him still bringing joy to new generations of kids makes me so happy. This is why we need more such positive news in media instead of just celebrity gossip and controversies.
