Johnny Depp has transformed into Captain Jack Sparrow to send a surprise message to a young terminally-ill boy.
The 59-year-old Hollywood star put on his pirate costume and transformed into the beloved Pirates of the Caribbean character to greet 11-year-old Kori the YouTuber who suffers from a terminal heart condition.
“Captain Kori… I understand you’re quite the YouYube channel man… so what I’m saying is I would be glad to follow your YouTube channel and will tell all my friends to follow your YouTube channel,” the actor said after an awkward, pirate-like introduction.
“I wish you the best of luck, I’m your number one fan Captain Kori, all my respect and love.”
Besides the video message, Kori also got to enjoy a video call with the actor who pretended to be on a pirate ship.
“I’m extremely flammable, I’m amongst so much fire with the candles I’m afraid this adventure might go awry,” Depp joked at one point during small talk with the 11-year-old.
The actor further complimented Kori’s pirate hat and offered to ‘knight’ him.
This part of the video, however, is yet to be released by Kori who vowed to put it on his channel should he reach 200,000 subscribers.
After the call with Depp, Kori’s channel quickly picked up popularity with hundreds of people chipping in to wish the boy good luck.
“We are all rooting for you and know your progress will be phenomenal! And thank you for being you, Captain Jack!” one user wrote.
“Love or hate Johnny Depp but you can’t deny his true love for caring and sending wonderful messages to sick children. This man has a heart of gold!” another said.
A third suggested: “Captain Kori, the fact that you have Captain Jack following you is the best news ever!”
