PotC4: Captain Jack lends support to a mutiny...

[dwgm]

Too much fun!!





From The Telegraph.co.uk...
Nine-year-old Beatrice Delap did just that by writing to Captain Jack Sparrow, star of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. "We are a bunch of budding young pirates. Normally we're a right handful but we're having trouble mutinying against the teachers. We'd love it if you could come and help," she wrote.

To the astonishment of staff at Meridian primary school in Greenwich, south-east London, Captain Jack arrived in the form of Johnny Depp, the actor who plays him. Depp is filming the latest Pirates of the Caribbean instalment at the nearby Old Royal Naval College.


Beatrice said: "I had the idea to write the letter last week after me and a friend went to see the film set. Yesterday the school called us in for a special assembly at the end of the day.

"Then Johnny Depp walked in dressed as Captain Jack. There were gasps and screams. He pulled the letter out of his pocket and said he was going to frame it. Then he called me down and gave me a hug.

"He said the pirates were going to take over the school and only eat candy and our teeth would turn black and fall out. But he said we shouldn't mutiny against the teachers because there were some police outside and we might get into trouble. It was the most exciting school day ever."

Acting head teacher Jo Graham said: "It was a very memorable day."

Well, now that just totally made me smile. How adorable is he, and how cool was it that they would take the time out of their schedule to do that? :)

Really!?! I bet it will be on our news, too, except I really can't bear to watch televised news any more. Thank goodness for YouTube!

Oh, that poor little girl! Her face is still hurting from smiling so hard and so much. I really admire her restraint. I'm afraid I would have launched my carcass at his knees and cling like a limpet! Yep, would've been hard not to touch his sword you know?! Or pistol or rings or asked to try on his hat? Or more most importantly Breathe!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Too right. He is just irresistible.

[sunshine304]

This clip is just so adorable. That's why we love him so much. :)

I saw the headlines at work on Friday and was really sad that I couldn't sign into LJ and spread the squee around.

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. Had to share the squee!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

I know, I can't really get on LJ at work either, they have all bloggish stuff blocked. So much fun, though!
