The Sparrow has landed
Friday 1st February 2013, 2:53PM GMT.
Professional Johnny Depp lookalike Andy Depp visited the Guernsey Press this morning. He's in the island to join in the fun at the 'Pirate Bash' in aid of the Saumarez Park playground appeal tonight.
Johnny Depp dropped in to the Guernsey Press unannounced earlier today – or at least, that’s what it looked like.
Professional lookalike of the actor, Andy Depp, is in the island to attend tonight’s Saumarez Park playground fundraiser at the Duke of Richmond Hotel.
Pirates is the theme of the event, so Captain Jack Sparrow will be making an appearance.
Read our interview with Andy in tomorrow’s Guernsey Press.

Look on the bright side – in these tough economic times if that’s what counts as a Johnny Depp lookalike about half the island have just found another career option if the worst happens.

Oh c’mon Vic. For once, it is a suitable time for your over-used catchphrase…

…this post did not originate from me, or my computer…..I have no interest in look-a-likes.
But as a matter of interest Donkey’s Wotsits what is my ‘over used catchphrase’ ??

“looks ok to me, who would know?”
…anyone with a pair of eyes, Vic

It’s uncanny. It really is. apart from the face, he looks uncannily like someone who wears clothes that Johnny Depp might or might not wear.

look at the avatar against my name for the last post and the avatar for the post before using my name…two different animals completely….someone is playing silly billies.

Vic is correct that the email address of the earlier posting by ‘Vic Gamble’ is not the same as the email address used in this comment.

He looks like George Harrison!

I am shocked that the organisers who are trying to raise money for a great cause are wasting it by bringing in a non look-a-like JD!!!!!
Seriously how much has it cost to bring this guy over??? wait lets charge small children £8.00 a time to hang out with Captain Jack than at least 50p from each person who has attended can pay towards the playground hmmmm!! its gonna be a long time before this playground gets finished at this rate.

Shocked
You have no idea how much this guy charged for his appearances and until you do, please do not comment.These people are working hard for our local children, how much have you donated. Find out how much it cost and come back and tell us.

While he`s here someone should point him in the direction of Specsavers HQ because those glasses he`s wearing are obviously distorting his vision when he looks in the mirror.
Still, if he can make a living off of idiots who book him then, fair enough, good luck son.
Report abuse
Maybe if the glasses didn’t look like re-entry shields and were more the shape/style that JD wore with this particular outfit (check out internet pics to see what i mean), Andy may have been able to pull a remote resemblence off, unfortunately his eyes, nose and mouth are definately not akin to the great man himself and those glasses are Soooooo Harry Potter!

@ DONKEY’S WOTSITS….come on Mr Donkey, don’t be so shy…what is my over used catchphrase..or have you forgotten?
Report abuse
You’d have thought that,with his ‘special hands’ he would have been able to give himself a haircut.Perhaps he is here to open a new Salon.
Report abuse
I don’t know why you’re knocking him.
He looks exactly like James Taylor!
Report abuse
…exactly which bit reminds you of fire and rain?
Report abuse
Funnily enough though, in the GP today, he actually did look quite a bit like the character Cap’n Sparrow, so I take back what I said earlier about him.
Perhaps though he should have given the GP a publicity shot to use rather than letting them use the one of him that showed him in rather a poor light.
