Johnny Depp delights crowds as Jack Sparrow on Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride

Hang on, that animatronic pirate looks familiar… Oh, it’s alright. It’s just Johnny Depp.

Yep, the actor has been spotted in full garb and wafting a cutlass around on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.

Delighting the crowds in their little boats, Depp assumed the character of his slurring reprobate Jack Sparrow at the park in California.

Twitter user Clay Smitty posted the video on Twitter – and despite only having a modest 24 followers it’s already been retweeted nearly 3000 times and liked over 4,500 times, at the time of publishing.

Mr Depp has form in this area, of course.

Back for the release of ‘Alice Through The Looking Glass’ in May last year, he was live-streamed onto one of the park’s talking billboards.

He gave visitors the fright of their lives then too, once he started mentioning people by name and sneezing out bubbles.

This is all excellent promotion for the next swashbuckling movie, of course, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge’.

It’s due out in the UK on May 26.
