Arr classmates! Johnny Depp in surprise visit to UK school, after kids ask for pirate lessons

Arr classmates! Pirate Johnny Depp at UK school

LONDON — Actor Johnny Depp has shocked pupils at a London school by answering a fan letter and visiting them dressed as his character from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie series.

Depp responded after 9-year-old Beatrice Delap sent a letter pleading for help in leading a mutiny against teachers at Meridian Primary School in Greenwich, a district in southeastern London.

The school said Friday that Depp performed pirate songs and dances for the pupils during the visit with four other cast members on Wednesday.

The 47-year-old Depp is currently filming “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” at Greenwich’s Old Naval College, a 17th-century seafaring center.

Acting head teacher Jo Graham said pupils were thrilled at the visit, and have abandoned plans for a mutiny.
