Man Dressed As Johnny Depp’s Character Jack Sparrow Begs At Gunpoint In Viral Video
The video that’s caught the attention of netizens shows a beggar dressed as Johnny Depp’s character, Captain Jack Sparrow. This never-seen-before way of begging is understandably causing an uproar, especially in the wake of Depp’s defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
A Twitter user who goes by the handle Javroar uploaded the video. Unsurprisingly, it went viral in no time.
The user recorded the video with the background track of the Disney movie. The car of the Twitter user appears to have stopped at a red light. The video shows the man donning Captain Jack Sparrow’s clothes moving towards the car, impersonating the walking style of Depp’s character in the movie. As he approaches the car window, the man points his camera at him, and the beggar, in response, points his toy gun at the user. He then takes out a cap to ask for change or some bucks, which the camera person proceeds to give. After getting the money, the beggar gives Captain Jack Sparrow’s crooked smile or smirk and goes away, aptly following the character’s behaviour.
The user was left impressed and shared the video on his Twitter profile. He captioned the video “This has been the most creative way of asking for money I’ve ever seen.”
Twitter Has Hilarious Reactions To The Video
The video quickly garnered a huge number of comments. It received so much adoration from the fans of the iconic character. It now has about sixty thousand retweets and more than four hundred thousand likes. Twitter was flooded with memes in response to this video.
