Johnny Depp dressed as his world famous character “Captain Jack Sparrow” to surprise Disneyland guest on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

The popular theme park attraction recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary. Pair that with the fact the next installment of the movie franchise titled “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” will be released May 26 in 3D, RealD 3D and IMAX 3D and this was a golden opportunity for some fun.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” attraction, like many at Disneyland, features life-like animatronics throughout the ride. Johnny put on his “Captain Jack” attire and stood motionless in one of the settings of the ride until the boats came close to his location.

When he began to move some guests were startled at first. But, when he began conversing with them as “Captain Jack,” that initial apprehension was replaced with excitement that they were talking with the real “Captain Jack Sparrow” in person.

Watch the fun as Johnny Depp surprises Disneyland guests as “Captain Jack Sparrow” in the video above.

Well played Johnny Depp and Disneyland!
