Captain Jack Gives Back

Click to return to TMZ.comAfter filming scenes for the third entry to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, everyone's favorite swashbuckler took time to meet and greet his fans.

While co-star Orlando Bloom tends to duck out of the fanfare, Johnny Depp has continually shown his appreciation for the people who've made "Pirates" one of the strongest box-office beasts.

As filming continues in the Redondo Beach area of Southern California, Jack Sparrow's ship, The Black Pearl, has been spotted floating off the shores, lit by torches at night.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End" hits theaters May 2007.

STFU:  1989 days ago

Why do you just pick on Orlando? Have Keira Knightley, Jack Davenport, Geoffrey Rush, or any other big name celebrities in PotC stopped to sign autographs for fans after a long day at work? Maybe he's just shy and doesn't like all that attention. Or maybe he's trying to avoid people right now for personal reasons.

Johnny has always been a real class act, after two decades in the spot light he still seems to understand the power of his fans and that if it were not for them he would be living in a trailer park eating out of a dumpster.

Well done Mr. Depp, you are a true gentlemen and you have a grip on reality. Thank you for the great movies. We love you and its obviouse you love us back....

Depp is so cool. I always thought he was another pretty boy in his jump stree daze, but have grown to like him, with all the whacked out characters he has portrayed over the years. Besides yurmomma there is almost a man crush thing for him, but i would drop him fand yur mom for Kiera in a second. mmmmm kiera.

I love Johnny he is so great and down to earth. It doesn't bother me that Orlando doesn't come out and say hi, he is not on Johnny's level anyways.

We'll see if Orlando is still around in twenty years like Johnny is. If he keeps ignoring his fans he won't be. Johnny has talent,looks and seems like a really cool guy. He's a triple threat and Orlando could probably learn a lot from him.

Major kudos to Johnny for being so warm and welcoming with his fans. Just look at the way he held that lady's hand after he shook it. He even gave her a hug and kiss. Way to go, Johnny. :)

Ah how soon some forget just a few years ago Johnny was acting worse than Orlando, shunning H'wood and celebrity, trashing hotel rooms, dating coke heads.... After all these years it's great to see him learn to deal with all the attention gracefully. Given time to grow, Orlando will get there too.

when exactly was this????? i was there in redondo beach on tuesday when he wore the white shirt...if you look on gawker he was seen in new york on wednesday and i was back in redondo beach on thursday (had dinner at samba) and everything was gone....no tents no fences no security no trailers....the pearl is back in san pedro and they finished filming at 11am (friday) supposedly they will be filming in utah soon......and definately johnny depp is a class act when i was there tuesday he signed for over 2 hours (wow talk about hand cramps) im sure the fans would appreciate if the other actors would do more than run and hide....just my two cents

Johnny is the best actor alive today. His genuine kindness to 'regular' people is an added bonus.
