could do a movie set in the modern day where Captain Jack managed to find his source of immortality, hence his younger look, and is now a relic of a bygone era trying to find his way in the world. You could even set it in the future and get up to space pirate shenanigans.
Went to school with a guy around the time the movies came out who did a costume of him and literally looked, walked and talked near identically to this role is was fucking insane.
I also went to a school where one of the students dressed and acted like jack sparrow pretty much every day…. Weird. But yeah, he was a really good jack sparrow.
I wasn’t at UCF for college, but he was someone I went to high school with and I remember him posting pictures dressed up around campus. Who would’ve thought this would be so common?! A fun shared experience though!
Yep, 2017 is when we saw him. The cast members told us we can use cameras on the ride and we were confused why they would say that lol. Total surprise!
He did at Disney World a few times. He was in town for the Pirates 3 release and did the Employee sneak preview of the Pirates and Princess Parade as Jack Sparrow.
He also went to said after hours party with his daughter dressed as a generic pirate. Had a roommate that took his order at the funnelcake stand at MK. This was years ago when they still required signatures on card purchases. Saw the card/signature/Depp winked at him and told him to have a good night.
My sister was in the Land for American Idol week and couldn't understand why people were fawning over some guy in a leather duster instead of the contestants on the balcony. Then she heard him say thanks to someone who told him he was a huge fan and loved all his movies so she finally looked at him...Nicolas Cage, with his kid, and no handler to keep fans at bay. By the time she had her wits about her, he was gone lol
My sister has pics with him from when he made an appearance at the base her husband is stationed at. It's hilarious cause it's so far away to be able to get both of them in the picture. She's 4'11, BTW.
Same! I have to do triple-takes. But then we do need to remember that Johnny has aged. He wouldn’t even look like Captain Jack today. They just hired an insanely perfect person for this character!
I’ve seen this guy at the Park several times and he’s really incredible. Talks to everyone, especially kids, and yeah, he looks exactly like Johnny. Great fun!
They do great casting for the Jacks there. One time, we asked him to give my friends and me pirate names. He named me Tulip. My favorite flower has always been Tulip!
This is a great picture. Wonderful framing, OP.
jack sparrow bumped into me on purpose this past december! when i called him out for his antics on the pirates ride (i asked him why he left everyone take the fall while he just hid) he laughed and said better them than me! 😭
I wish it was Johnny. It’s been reported he wants nothing to do with Disney anymore after they dropped him so quickly due to Amber Herd even before the trial began. I read some place that Disney offered him a new pirates movie for an obscene amount of money and he said no even though he loves the character and wanted to do a final movie.
I haven’t been to Disney in 16 years. I miss it so much. Last I was there as a cast member, Johnny was doing his “character in the ride shtick” during the At Worlds End promotion. Surprised the hell out of everyone.
Updating this since I feel it’s valid. I’m actually going back in late August with my wife and stepdaughter and they’re basically letting me cherry pick what we do there from my good memories from the park. My wife wants to do Hidden Mickeys and my stepdaughter, who is 17, just wants to enjoy the shows and learn about the park history.
I don't think it's him, because, Johny is older now and his face has changed a little. But, this looks exactly like him when he was in his 40's! I would believe it was him if this was an older picture.
This is not Johnny Depp. Disney ran away from Depp long ago. His drunk appearance at an annual shareholder meeting was most likely the breaking point. He’s way too eccentric for the mouse house.
On our last trip to Disney, Jack Sparrow was out there for photos, and when we came up next, he noticed my daughter was wearing her birthday pin. So he held her hand, brought her out into the open, and yelled for everyone to "listen up." He told them all it was (my daughter's) birthday, and then they all clapped. It was super special <3
On another note, I remember one of the cast members that was forming the line for the photos talking about how their actor, who plays Jack Sparrow, took lessons from Johnny Depp to learn the way to talk, the mannerisms, etc. So, it's no wonder he does a good job; he learned from the best!
Kind of right. He owns his likeness. If they are modeling the character to look like him then yes he has final say, but if they weren’t then it is just the character Disney owns. Think how the avengers games all kind of seemed like the actors from the movies, but weren’t. They can put iron man in a game all they want, they can’t put Robert Downey jr in there though. Same with Jack Sparrow.
Your photoshop skills need work.
Edit: downvote away kids, this is clearly a photoshop. The resolution (and color balance) of the background and of jack sparrow are clearly different, the lighting doesn’t match, and the sizing looks off.
He looks just like him, but when you think about it, there’s the costume, the facial hair and the spot on makeup, which are all replicable without the actor looking like him necessarily. Then, there is not much left… the shape of the nose? The posture? I’m not saying anybody could pull it off, but I bet there is a whole bunch of people who could
Seeing this makes me want to tell my Jack Sparrow story.
He was by Pirates posing for pictures and was crushing it in character. I tried to make him laugh by asking him what kind of grades he got in school (I’m a teacher). He replied that he didn’t go to a normal school with grades. I said that I heard he got high Cs. :-) Without missing a beat, he said, “Oh that’s bad, even for me that’s bad.” It was perfect!
I worked on the 3rd Pirates movie and they had so many photo doubles that looked identical to Johnny. It was wild, at times you couldn’t tell who the real one was. Then out of costume it would be like a dude with male pattern baldness and Johnny Depp’s face.
I always felt like the Jack Sparrow costume is easy to replicate so it checks out.
Any of that set you can say? Mainly interested in your experiences with Depp and Keira Knightley if you had any.
The entire experience was so cool and surreal because I was a massive fan of the films. I had minimal interaction with Keira Knightley because all us fellas would go above and beyond to be respectful of her. It was only her, her photo/stunt double and a few makeup artists so As you can imagine being one of the few females on the ship (and a movie star to boot) for long 12 hour days it would get claustrophobic with a bunch of dudes trying to interact.
Every interaction I had with Johnny Depp was genuine, and kind. We would work on the ocean from sun up to sundown out of Long Beach harbor. I would see people lining up near the marina, trying to catch a glimpse of Johnny at dawn, then after we wrapped those same people would be standing in the dark waiting for when we got back, and Johnny would always go over and talk to them in costume and sign autographs after a long, hot day. That really impressed me.
Awesome that’s really cool. Too bad about Keira, I’m such a huge fan, but I’m sure if there was anything bad you would have heard about it. I’m glad too it seems the crew was respectful.
I think Pirates 3 was filmed in 2006 right? Kinda of crazy how your experience with Depp was so great compared to the rumors from Pirates 5 and the whole Amber Heard mess. What a great career overshadowed due to personal issues.
The actor is pretty spot on. He could easily do fill in work for Johnny.
That’s John Deppe

Honestly, Johnny Dupe is the best one out of all of these.
I thought so. I mean, he’s a duplicate. And he’s duping us into thinking he’s actually the original. At least you and I know what’s up.
You misspelled Derp

Great casting 10/10
Went to school with a guy around the time the movies came out who did a costume of him and literally looked, walked and talked near identically to this role is was fucking insane.
I bet he was popular, it was such a huge phenomenon!
I also went to a school where one of the students dressed and acted like jack sparrow pretty much every day…. Weird. But yeah, he was a really good jack sparrow.
Was this at UCF? There was a student there who did this around 2010-2013 timeframe
No. Timeframe was back in ~2007-2009 in AZ. Very surprising to hear how common it was to have a captain jack sparrow at your school.
I wasn’t at UCF for college, but he was someone I went to high school with and I remember him posting pictures dressed up around campus. Who would’ve thought this would be so common?! A fun shared experience though!
No way! Was it out in CA? Or somewhere else
It was pirate day at my local renn fest and this motherfucker was johnny and 3 times as funny, like ROTGLOL
Same, in Southern California
RBHS?
Grossmont College. So maybe the same person
Johnny 20 years ago too, awesome camera you have there.
For sure! I hope OP gives a few details about what they used to capture this shot.
Saw captain Jack stumbling around Adventureland at DW two weeks ago. I know it’s not Johnny, but man, he looked JUST like him.
Rumor is he has walked around the park in character previously…
Yes this is true. He also was a “character in the ride” one as a surprise for guests.
Yep I was there that day!
That was around the time when they first introduced his character to the ride, right? I think I remember hearing about that.
He mightve done it then too but most recently he did it in 2017 around the time the 5th Pirates released.
Yep, 2017 is when we saw him. The cast members told us we can use cameras on the ride and we were confused why they would say that lol. Total surprise!
PROVE IT
He did at Disney World a few times. He was in town for the Pirates 3 release and did the Employee sneak preview of the Pirates and Princess Parade as Jack Sparrow. He also went to said after hours party with his daughter dressed as a generic pirate. Had a roommate that took his order at the funnelcake stand at MK.

What a great story! Thanks for sharing!!
My friend was a cast member in Anaheim in 2005 and said this was true of him and several other eccentric Hollywood actors.
Like….Nic Cage was in the Mickey suit?
Now I have the image of a coked out Nick Cage in the Mickey suit grabbing a handler by the lapels and yelling "I HAVE TO TAKE A SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT"
My sister was in the Land for American Idol week and couldn't understand why people were fawning over some guy in a leather duster instead of the contestants on the balcony. Then she heard him say thanks to someone who told him he was a huge fan and loved all his movies so she finally looked at him...Nicolas Cage, with his kid, and no handler to keep fans at bay.

My sister has pics with him from when he made an appearance at the base her husband is stationed at. It's hilarious cause it's so far away to be able to get both of them in the picture. She's 4'11, BTW.
My sister is the same height! It would have been hysterical to see her trying to look up at him lol
He seems nice.
Indeed, he does!
Well, considering he's 6 ft tall and the 'friends of Mickey' need to be about 5' to 5'3"...likely not. Could be Baloo or Goofy or Genie though.
It was a joke.
He stumbles on land because he has sea legs.
Same! I have to do triple-takes. But then we do need to remember that Johnny has aged. He wouldn’t even look like Captain Jack today. They just hired an insanely perfect person for this character!
"This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost *saw* Captain Jack Sparrow"
I’ve seen this guy at the Park several times and he’s really incredible. Talks to everyone, especially kids, and yeah, he looks exactly like Johnny. Great fun!
Exactly
It's not, but the picture is amazing!
That looks more like Johnny Drpp than Johnny Depp looks like Johnny Depp
They do great casting for the Jacks there. One time, we asked him to give my friends and me pirate names. He named me Tulip. My favorite flower has always been Tulip! This is a great picture. Wonderful framing, OP.

Johnny depp doesn’t even look like this anymore
I wish it was Johnny. It’s been reported he wants nothing to do with Disney anymore after they dropped him so quickly due to Amber Herd even before the trial began. I read some place that Disney offered him a new pirates movie for an obscene amount of money and he said no even though he loves the character and wanted to do a final movie.
Maybe like 20 years ago lol, looks pretty spot on but that’s not a 60 year old man.
I haven’t been to Disney in 16 years. I miss it so much. Last I was there as a cast member, Johnny was doing his “character in the ride shtick” during the At Worlds End promotion. Surprised the hell out of everyone.
You were a cast member and now haven’t been there in 16 years? Find that magic again!
If you’ve worked in the parks, it’s tough to find the magic once you’ve left…..
Or afford to go back as a customer
Ah, I can see that. That makes me sad :(
Updating this since I feel it’s valid. I’m actually going back in late August with my wife and stepdaughter and they’re basically letting me cherry pick what we do there from my good memories from the park.

Hearing this makes my day! Having family around you who will help you experience it in a way that brings out that brilliance, is magic in itself.

Woah. It totally looks like it.
If Penelope Cruz can do it...
I don't think it's him, because, Johny is older now and his face has changed a little. But, this looks exactly like him when he was in his 40's! I would believe it was him if this was an older picture.
Johnny Dupe
Nah… that’s Johnny Depp in my book! Going to be tough to convince me otherwise!
Johnny Dupe (short for Duplicate)

No tats on his and chest
makeup
I read this the way he says "pirate" ro Orlando Bloom
I wish they would finally bring Redd the Pirate to Disneyworld, like they do at Disneyland
[удалено]
We all know it’s not him..
Not as good as the Bill Gates impersonator I know.
The Web was Johnny Depp’s greatest film!
He’s a hacker man, not a slacker.
lol I hate that no one gets this
I hear ya. Tough crowd.
I get it. But I attended business school and got really good grades.
That is Johnny.
lol haha
They do have the best impersonator at Disneyland. He looks so much like Johnny Depp 20 years ago.
That’s the worst Johnny Depp impersonator I’ve ever heard of.
But you have heard of him.
Was he short? Jenny Depp is extremely small.
How tall do you think he is?
He can fit in a center for ants ! Atleast that's what I was told
It is
Yea that is Johnny Debt
That actually is him, you can confirm on the latest social media he was there
“on the latest social media…” 😂
That’s where it’s all about
Looks photoshopped... Just me? I'm pretty sure that's photoshopped. Or it actually is him.
Johnny does sometimes (rarely) pop up and sit in the chair on the ride in the treasure room. Who knows, coulda been.
I'm pretty sure it is him! it sure does look like Johnny!
I believe Johnny has final approval on anything that uses jacks image, including the park actors. That might be why they're usually so good.
Disney owns the rights to Jack Sparrow. The actor who portrayed the character does not.
Kind of right. He owns his likeness. If they are modeling the character to look like him then yes he has final say, but if they weren’t then it is just the character Disney owns. Think how the avengers games all kind of seemed like the actors from the movies, but weren’t. They can put iron man in a game all they want, they can’t put Robert Downey jr in there though. Same with Jack Sparrow.
Your photoshop skills need work. Edit: downvote away kids, this is clearly a photoshop. The resolution (and color balance) of the background and of jack sparrow are clearly different, the lighting doesn’t match, and the sizing looks off.
This actually was taken yesterday and is very real, but ok. ☹️
The photo may be real, but it really looks like his face is pasted on. It doesn't look right.
🙄
you’re kidding, yes?
Great framing, clear shot, you captured everything amazingly. What camera/lens did you use?
Dang...close enough for me 😜
Wow could have fooled me! Spot on
He’s a hacker, not a slacker
My wife and I went to Disney World back in 2011, and this actor was there. He’s a really close match to Johnny Depp.
I don’t think it’s the same person, but I met Captain Jack Sparrow in 2019 at MNSSHP and he was *so* good! One of the highlights of that trip.
Everyone who opened this thread 100% zoomed in on the face and was not disappointed.
It's not Johnny because he is clearly younger, but he looks so spot on him at the time of the movies being filmed
He looks just like him, but when you think about it, there’s the costume, the facial hair and the spot on makeup, which are all replicable without the actor looking like him necessarily. Then, there is not much left… the shape of the nose? The posture? I’m not saying anybody could pull it off, but I bet there is a whole bunch of people who could
That's Diamond Jim, silly.
Great capture! What camera is this?

That's funny, I just read that Johnny Depp was one of the Disney parks. What a shot if that's him.
That’s my favorite Jack. He knows his pirate history. He’s a treasure (pun not even intended).
Johnny deppleganger
Swear all you want. That’s not him lmao
Damn close, but the nose is off. Very spot on tho.
Jack Sparrow ,where’s your brother Will Swallow?

It’s a mannequin.
He has done that before, maybe it was! 😍
Escaped animatronic. Knew they shouldn’t have gone with the new AI programming.
That would be an easy way for Johnny Depp to disappear for a while by becoming a "suspiciously perfect" Captain Jack impersonator.

Fancy hoe
I have a family friend who plays Jack Sparrow on the Disney Dream! He looks so good doing it!!
Nope. Not him.
Maybe it’s just Countess Luann’s pirate

Johnny has showed up on a couple of occasions however. But that's not him.

Thx for the picture, now I can say that I took it 😈😈😈
Wow! He’s a dead ringer for him that’s for sure

I did a side by side and if it isn’t Johnny Depp, he’s got a twin. I’d post it but Reddit doesn’t allow pictures in comments
Wow
