— -- Patients at the BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver were treated to a swashbuckling good time Monday when Oscar nominee Johnny Depp showed up as Captain Jack Sparrow, his character from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.

"I have no sword, I come in peace," Depp jokes in the clip while greeting fans.

Depp, 54, never broke character during the five-hour visit.

Hospital spokeswoman Pamela Smith said her team got a call from Depp's reps a few weeks back, seeing if he could swing by in between filming a movie in town.

"We got the wheels in motion," she said. "And wanted to make it as quiet as possible ... Some of the people on my team didn't even know about it."

But what stood out for Smith was Depp making an effort to visit each room and trying to meet all the kids, including those "in isolation."

"He took the time to really engage with them and make them smile and laugh," she added.

"I didn't wake up in the morning, knowing I was going to see Johnny Depp today!" one fan gushed.

This isn't the first time the actor has surprised children at a local hospital. While filming his last "Pirates" movie in Australia in 2015, he stopped by the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital in Brisbane, hugging and meeting the children there as well.

Heart of gold: Johnny Depp visits Vancouver hospital as Jack Sparrow

Young patients at B.C. Children’s Hospital were given a surprise treat when Hollywood A-lister Johnny Depp paid them a visit this week.

Decked out as his swashbuckling “Pirates of the Caribbean” character Capt. Jack Sparrow, the actor spent several hours lifting young patients' spirits at the Vancouver hospital on Monday.

“Johnny Depp showed he has a heart of gold by spending more than five hours meeting one-on-one with every patient, from newborns to teens,” the hospital wrote on Instagram.

Depp donned full pirate costume and spoke to the children in full character while roaming the halls. He also posed for selfies and took part in foam-sword duels.

Logan Johnson-Lay, a 20-year-old relapsed cancer patient who was first diagnosed over a decade ago, served as the star's hospital tour guide for the entire visit. She said Depp did his best to make everyone he met feel special.

"He didn't just like slough you off, he took the time to engage with you," Johnson-Lay said. "It made me feel important."

Depp was also quick to plant kisses and offer hugs – a highlight Johnson-Lay said she won't soon forget.

"I definitely will remember that he kissed me," she said. "He's basically my boyfriend."

B.C. Children's Hospital told CTV News that Depp's people reached out and asked if staff would like him to make a visit. Deb Sweeney, chief strategy officer for the hospital, said the movie star's daughter spent time in a children's hospital years ago, and Depp never forgot the care she received.

"He wanted to give that back to us," Sweeney said.

Hospital officials hoped he might visit for a couple of hours, but were impressed to see Depp stick around until every child who wanted to meet him had a chance. During the meetings, Depp would whisper messages of encouragement into the young patients' ears, like "be brave" and "keep going,” Sweeney said.

Parent Jenna Montroy, whose three-year-old daughter Harlow has leukemia, described the event as "a day we will never forget."

"A wonderful ray of sunshine today," she wrote on Instagram. "So special and heartwarming to see my little baby smile."

Depp is in Vancouver shooting his new film "Richard Says Goodbye" and has been spotted in various locations across the city in the past month.

Yo ho!: Johnny Depp visits B.C. Children's Hospital as Captain Jack Sparrow

Depp wore his full costume and spoke to patients in character as he posed for photos, handed out gifts, chatted with kids and engaged in a few foam-sword duels with the more adventurous children at the hospital.

“He really took time with all the kids and he didn't rush,” patient Logan Johnson-Lay told CTV Vancouver. Johnson-Lay had the good fortune of being Depp’s guide at the hospital.

“He’s basically my boyfriend,” she added with a laugh. “He, like, kissed me five times!”

Logan’s mother, Jennifer Montgomery-Lay, was more than impressed with the Hollywood star.

“He was reciting lines with kids in their room and he was on the floor playing with kids in their diapers,” she said. “He was so human… It took my breath away.”

Even hospital officials couldn’t believe it.

“He was Captain Sparrow the whole time -- he didn’t take a break,” Debora Sweeney, the hospital’s vice-president and chief strategy officer said. “He spent time really talking to the patients, to their families.”

Depp also whispered welcome words of encouragement.

“’Be brave,’ ‘Keep going,’” Sweeney said. “Just really these messages of strength."

The hospital posted several photos of Depp with patients on social media.

“Johnny Depp showed he has a heart of gold by spending more than five hours meeting one-on-one with every patient, from newborns to teens,” the hospital wrote on Instagram.

Johnny Depp Dresses Up as Captain Jack Sparrow for Virtual Visit to Children's Hospital

Johnny depp paid a virtual visit to the patients of queensland children's hospital dressed as his pirates of the caribbean character captain jack sparrow..

Johnny Depp is giving back.

On Friday, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor suited up in his pirate best to surprise the patients of Australia's Queensland Children's Hospital. Done in collaboration with Juiced TV to boost spirits in the wake of the pandemic , Depp reprised his famous character from the Disney film franchise Captain Jack Sparrow for his virtual visit, joining the event from a pirate-themed room and even made sure to speak with the character's accent.  

"It's been a couple of years since I've been there and I miss it and I wanted to say hello," he said. "It's a wonderful facility. I'm with all of you and I send you all my love, and all my irreverence and all my ignorance because it's fun to be ignorant and irreverent sometimes. And you deserve to be if you feel that."

"I'm with you always. I love you," he continued. "Thank you for sticking with me through all these very strange years."  

While connecting with patients Gabby , Asha and Thomas , Depp answered questions and played games. And in true Captain Jack fashion, there were some hilarious antics that ensued along the way.

"These three beautiful young people I've spoken with this evening…[this] is one of the finest and most beautiful experiences that I've ever experienced," he gushed. "And that is because of all of your commitment to this project and to also just taking care of one another, to helping out when times are curious and confusing."

Depp also took a moment to praise the hospital staff.

You guys work—all the nurses, the healthcare workers , the doctors—you work like absolute heroes." 

Before signing off, he added, "But I thank you all for allowing me to have this time with you—either as Johnny or as Captain Jack."

Johnny Depp visits children's hospital in Australia dressed as pirate Jack Sparrow

By Jennifer Earl

July 8, 2015 / 10:54 AM EDT / CBS News

This is the day children will always remember as the day they met Jack Sparrow -- *Captain* Jack Sparrow.

Johnny Depp and co-star Stephen Graham, who plays pirate Scrum, took a break while filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" on Tuesday to surprise patients at Lady Cilento Children's Hospital in Brisbane, Australia.

The actors spent more than three hours visiting with children and their families.

The hospital shared exciting details and photos from the visit.

"Two very famous pirates made a special surprise visit to the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital last night," the hospital staff wrote on Facebook . "Both actors flew in for the visit from the Gold Coast, landing in a helicopter on the hospital's rooftop."

Patients and families seemed to enjoy the famous pirates' company, sharing tales from their visit.

Kossy Halemai, whose daughter Lanais Malia, was in the hospital recovering from heart surgery during Depp's visit, said she was all smiles.

"For me and my family, it was a fantastic time to meet up and speak with Johnny Depp and put a smile on everyone's faces, especially my daughter," Halemai told CBS News. "She's recovering well and to see her smiling -- I was emotional and proud."

The Halemai family, as well as dozens of others, had no idea the actors were going to make the trip.

"It was a big surprise for all of us," Halemai said.

Bella Harry, a 12-year-old with osteosarcoma, was another lucky patient who got to meet the actor.

The Benefit4Bella Facebook group, a fundraising page for the young girl, said Depp spent 15 minutes sitting and chatting with the young girl.

"Little did Bella know, through all the excitement, Captain Sparrow would sit and chat with her one on one for 15 minutes," the fundraising group posted, along with several photos. "An amazing man to brighten up so many kids' day."

Pip Russell, managing director of Lady Cilento Children's Hospital's Juiced TV , a TV show "made by kids in the hospital for kids in the hospital," said the famous pirate even handed out some "loot," passing out gold coins to patients.

Despite the reward, the kids seemed to value Depp's company more than the gold "money."

"For any kids who were shy upon first meeting Jack Sparrow and Scrum, the characters soon made the kids feel very comfortable in their presence and had them smiling and laughing," Russell said.

As Captain Jack would say, "Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate."

Johnny Depp Visits Children's Hospital in Australia Dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow

Johnny Depp may sport gold teeth to play Jack Sparrow, but it’s the actor’s gold heart that really makes him shine.

Johnny Depp with patient Max Bennett (Twitter)

Taking a break from filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in Queensland, Australia, the movie star made a surprise visit to the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital on Tuesday — in full buccaneer garb — to visit some of the young patients. Over the course of three hours, the 52-year-old actor and his co-star Stephen Graham, who plays Scrum, made a slew of new mateys.

The Children’s Hospital Foundation shared photos from the “special surprise visit” by the “two very famous pirates” during which they made “a real difference to sick kids and their families in hospital.”

The pictures showed the elated patients on the 11th floor of the hospital getting up close and personal with Depp’s dreadlocked and guylinered Sparrow, a character he modeled after a combination of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and cartoon character Pepé Le Pew. One girl had her hands over her mouth in delight as she met the actor.

Max Bennett, a 7-year-old with transverse myelitis, a rare neurological disorder, was one of the youngsters to rub elbows with the Hollywood star. His mother, Rachel, told Australia’s ABC News that Depp “was going from room to room seeing all the kids who couldn’t get out of bed. We waited out of the front of one of the rooms, and he came up to us and had a really good chat to Max.” That included giving Max some “gold coins,” which were engraved with pirate heads. He handed out the coins to several of the patients.

Rachel added, “It was really beautiful. Everyone kept on trying to move [Depp] on, but he kept on coming back. He came on the condition that he wasn’t pushed along and crowded by adults and he could spend as much time as he wanted with the kids.”

Depp, who recently married Amber Heard, is known for making visits to sick kids in his Sparrow ensemble. For instance, in 2009, he wore his costume to visit children at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. He has a special fondness for the hospital — it was there that his daughter, Lily-Rose, was treated after she had E. Coli food poisoning, which led to kidney failure when she was 10.

Depp has said that even when he’s not shooting a Pirates flick, he brings his costume with him wherever he goes — just in case.

“Sometimes you go to kiddie hospitals and things like that,” the actor said in 2013 . “I’ll just sneak in and go and surprise a bunch of kiddies through the different wards… It basically turns into a two-, three-hour improvisation and it’s really fun. So I travel with Captain Jack.”

While Depp charmed the locals this time, his trip Down Under hasn’t been without drama. In May, he found himself in hot water after flying into Australia on a private jet with his Yorkshire Terriers, Pistol and Boo, and breaking the country’s strict quarantine laws. The dogs were subsequently put on a flight back to the U.S., but he faces fines and other sanctions .
