Johnny Depp Dresses Up as Jack Sparrow, Surprises ‘Pirates’ Riders at Disneyland (Videos)
Guests enjoying the “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride at Disneyland on Wednesday got a surprise glimpse at Johnny Depp himself, dressed in his Captain Jack Sparrow costume.
The ride at the California theme park is filled with Jack Sparrow figures. Lucky guests quickly realized it wasn’t a machine swinging the sword at them, but the actor in the flesh.
“Everyone was surprised, shocked and excited to see him,” a rider told E! News. “He acted exactly like his character in the movies.”
