During his time within the function, the 60-year-old star has been identified to make the occasional college and hospital go to in character.

And simply final 12 months, for the primary time in an extended interval, he made the particular effort to reprise the function in a Make A Wish Foundation video for an 11-year-old fan in palliative care known as Kori Stovell.

The boy, who was born with a coronary heart situation and died at house in his mom’s arms on Sunday, made a ultimate want for Depp to ship him a video message as Jack Sparrow.

Kori shared the particular footage on his YouTube channel Kraken The Box, wherein the Hollywood star seems as his a lot beloved Pirates character rambling in his ordinary drunken stupor.

Depp’s Captain Jack says: “So, Capt. Kori, terribly sorry I missed out on this. Meant to say it, forgot to say it, didn’t say it, gonna say it now. Saying it, I’ll say it.

“I hear tell of something they speak about in the ages of now called the YouTube channel, which I don’t understand, but why not?…

“I think it will make for a wonderful entertainment expertise momentary lapse of togetherness altogether in one space, but far apart, but then, at the same time, very close. Curious, enduring and strange.”

The Pirates of the Caribbean star also had a video call with Kori while in character, which the boy shared on his channel.

Upon Kori’s death, his heartbroken mother Pixi said in a statement: “I would like to thank everyone who has supported Kori and followed his journey. He was humbled and overjoyed at so much in life and we ask that people don’t forget him, now he has set sail on his biggest adventure yet.”

In an emotional video on Sunday evening, she said: “I am beside him right now. He went fairly peacefully. He is currently lying in his bed – I’m in his bedroom. His captain’s hat is beside his bed and he has a pirate flag over him.

“I would like to ask that you carry on Kori’s channel subs, interact with his videos, because I am not letting his channel go and for all those people who tried to make Kori’s wish come true while he was here, thank you. I don’t know what to do – he was my baby boy.”
