The actor arrived at Meridian primary school in Greenwich on Wednesday after Beatrice Dunlap wrote a letter, asking the actor to help the students mutiny against their teachers

Johnny Depp visited a school in Greenwich, southeast London, Wednesday after one of the students wrote him a letter, according to People.com.

After visiting the film set for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, 9-year-old Beatrice Delap wrote in a letter to Depp: "Captain Jack Sparrow, at Meridian primary school we are a bunch of budding young pirates. Normally we're a right handful, but we're having trouble mutinying against the teachers. We'd love it if you could come and help."

Meridian staff put together an assembly after they heard only 10 minutes earlier that the actor, 47, was going to come to the school. Depp along with four other cast members arrived dressed in their pirate attire and performed for the students.

"He [Depp] asked where I was in the audience. I put my hand up and then I had to go up and he gave me a hug," Beatrice told London Tonight TV news. "He said, 'Maybe we shouldn't mutiny today because there are police outside monitoring me.' I said, 'Yeah, that's probably a good idea.'"
