The star donned his famous Jack Sparrow pirate costume in Australia to pay a visit to a children's

hospital.

Complete with the character's trademark dreadlocks and eyeliner, and customary quirky British

accent, Depp posed for selfies with beaming children.

"Now, if there's other people in it, why do you call it a selfie?"

He also recorded a special message for the patients.

"I have no idea what this thing is that I have in me hand. But I've got it and I'll

nick it, obviously.

But, I just wanted to say thank you to Juiced TV for having me on, I've had a wonderful

time,

I've had a fantastic time meeting all the kids and everyone and the parents and the

people and I stole a lot of things and I want to salute you,

all of you for your bravery and your courage because that is all that matters,"

Depp has spent time in Australia this year to film the fifth installment

of the Caribbean series in Queensland, Dead Men Tell No Tales is set to be released in

2017.
