Johnny Depp, known for his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, was spotted in Palos Verdes, California on Wednesday, dressed in full costume as he filmed scenes for the third installment of the franchise. Depp arrived in a modern-day version of the Black Pearl, the iconic pirate ship from the series.
The actor, who received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Sparrow, was seen wearing a wig, eyeliner, dreadlocks, and a puffy shirt, staying true to his character's signature look. He boarded a small transfer boat to make his way to the real Black Pearl, currently anchored off the coast of Palos Verdes.
Although some parts of the movie are being filmed in the water, a replica of the Black Pearl has been created on a Disney sound stage in Burbank, just beyond the Hollywood Hills. This allows for more controlled and easily accessible filming conditions.
