Johnny Depp has had a long career as a character actor, although his most iconic role is likely Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. He played that drunken protagonist in 5 movies across a decade and change, and some fans are still hoping to see Depp return to the role. Back in December he did that (sort of) in order to make the day of a sick young fan. That fan has unfortunately passed away at age 11, and the 60 year-old actor has paid tribute to him as a result.
Depp went viral months ago for suiting back up as Jack Sparrow for a young Pirates of the Caribbean fan who was ill. That young fan’s name was Kori Stovell, and the two seemed to have a sweet connection. Unfortunately Kori has passed away at the age of 11, leading Johnny Depp to take to social media and write a touching tribute to his young fan.
