Actor Johnny Depp is around town filming the latest Pirates of Caribbean installment, and has taken to winning over the locals after some bizarre behavior, so he went to visit an Australian children’s hospital.

Dressed as his character Captain Jack Sparrow, he arrived at the oncology and neurology wards of Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital in Brisbane on Tuesday.

When his daughter Lily Rose contracted E. coli poisoning and suffered kidney failure in 2007, she was admitted to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, spending nine days there.

Depp was so grateful for the help they received that he donated £1million to the hospital and made a surprise visit dressed as Captain Jack two years later.

But here’s the real inspiration for Captain Jack.
