Actor Johnny Depp made a group of kids at B.C. Children’s Hospital very happy on Monday.
Depp, who is in Vancouver to film Richard Says Goodbye, morphed into Captain Jack Sparrow, the character he made famous in the Pirates of the Caribbean films, to visit kids at the hospital on Monday afternoon.
“I didn’t wake up in the morning knowing that I was going to see Johnny Depp today,” one girl with cancer said.
Depp was reportedly there for a number of hours, going from room to room in his pirate paraphernalia and brightening the day for the little patients.
“Johnny Depp showed he has a heart of gold by spending more than five hours meeting one-on-one with every patient, from newborns to teens,” the hospital wrote on Instagram.

It’s not the first time the actor has shown up in public dressed as his most famous character.
In 2015, Sparrow visited a children’s hospital in Brisbane, Australia while Depp was filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
