Actor Johnny Depp visited a children's hospital unannounced dressed in his famous character Captain Jack Sparrow.

According to franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the actor regularly travels with his famous costume from the fantasy adventure film series "Pirates of the Caribbean", so that he can surprise ailing kids, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Bruckheimer said: "He knows he is a very fortunate person and he wants to give back."

The 50-year-old actor has appeared in the first four part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and will be seen in the fifth one as well.

In 2010, the actor had accepted an invitation from a nine-year-old girl, who had asked the actor to visit her school in London after she discovered he was filming for "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" at the nearby Old Royal Naval College.
