‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed that Johnny Depp often visits children’s hospitals dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow because ”He knows he is a very fortunate person and he wants to give back.”

I would not expect anything less from this man. But did you know that the lovable Mr. Depp actually carries his Pirates of the Caribbean costume with him at all times so that he never misses an opportunity to make a child in need happy?

Depp explained to E! at The Lone Ranger premiere that “Sometimes you go to kiddie hospitals and things like that…I’ll just sneak in and go and surprise a bunch of kiddies through the different wards…It basically turns into a two-, three-hour improvisation and it’s really fun.”

Depp added, “So, I travel with Captain Jack.”

Robert Downey, Jr. should take a note out of Depp’s playbook and walk around with or in his Iron Man suit. At all times. That way, he’d avoid making little kids cry who he meets in the future!
