Johnny Depp Is Walking Around Australia As Jack Sparrow And It's Amazing

Just weeks after Johnny Depp fled Australia following a dispute with the country's government, the actor returned to Brisbane to film “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.”

Authorities Down Under threatened to arrest the actor and euthanize his two dogs, Boo and Pistol, whom he allegedly brought into the country illegally.

Thankfully, it appears as if the conflict was resolved. Between takes, Depp, in full Jack Sparrow gear, was spotted snapping selfies with fans and even police officers.

The 51-year-old actor kissed a local news reporter after she revealed she'd been staking him out for days, and he snapped a selfie with a mother, who excitedly ran out of her house in her pajamas.

Filming continues for the fifth "Pirates" flick, set to hit theaters in July 2017.
