Hollywood star Johnny Depp  surprised pupils at a London elementary school by dropping in unannounced. Depp, 47, is currently filming the fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie in Greenwich, but took some time out to visit Meridian Primary School dressed as his character Captain Jack Sparrow.

The idea came after one of the school’s pupils wrote a letter to him that read: “Captain Jack Sparrow, at Meridian Primary School we are a bunch of budding young pirates and we were having a bit of trouble mutinying against the teachers.

“We’d love it if you could come and help. From Beatrice De Lap aged nine, a budding pirate.”

More Depp Notes…the actor was was reportedly left unimpressed with the food on set of the new Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.

Depp, 47, has been filming the fourth movie in Greenwich in London and complained that the food provided to the cast and crew on set was ‘just awful’.

He then reportedly ordered some takeaway from a nearby Wagamama restaurant instead. Depp, who is reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, was served spinach and ricotta ravioli, as well as chicken curry, sausage and mash or a jacket potato with salad.

A source said to UK newspaper The Sun: “He was really annoyed, said he needed something decent to survive and kept on about noodles.”
