Johnny Depp Wanders Around In Jack Sparrow Costume On Gold Coast

He may run away from authorities in the movies, but in real life Captain Jack Sparrow is apparently quite friendly with them.

A selfie taken by the Queensland Police Service features Johnny Depp in character as Captain Jack Sparrow, sporting a big smile. The image's caption reads: "Here's Johnny! A potential new Water Police recruit? Thanks for the selfie #JohnnyDepp."

He also met with a number of fans, chatting to them in character as Captain Jack Sparrow.

Depp is in Queensland filming for 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,' and the photo posted on the Queensland Police Service Facebook page quickly climbed the popularity charts on social media within hours of being posted.
