Captain Jack gets his girl

Heeeere's Johnny
You've got to love this. Johnny Depp took the 9 year old Greenwich schoolgirl he surprise-visited at her primary school to the blue*-carpet premiere of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie last night

Beatrice Delap wrote to him when the film was shooting in Greenwich last year and asked if he'd help her set up a mutiny at school, an idea I'm sure we can all applaud. The Deppster had been filming in the Painted Hall that week and dropped by Meridian Primary School with just ten minutes notice.

Still togged up in his Cap'n Jack clobber and slap he told the class that it wasn't a good idea to mutiny today because the police were outside. Wouldn't you have just loved having a large as life PIRATE from the MOVIES in your classroom when you were nine?

Anyway, fast forward seven months and she's his plus-one for the big night in London yesterday evening. How many cool points does Beatrice have back at Meridian, do you reckon? And what a nice guy Johnny Depp is. Good-looking, talented, rich AND nice. Unfair. Really unfair. Actually, now I come to think about it, that's SO unfair that I don't like him any more, so let's hear it for Johnny. Booooooo.

That'll fix 'im.

*Yes, it was blue, not red. No, I don't know why.
