Unlucky production teams working on the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean flick at Pinewood Studios had been hit by a bout of blustery British weather, and suffered chilly winds before the gorgous actor stepped in to help out.

Doing his good deed for the day, Johnny shelled out a whopping £40,000 on waterproof jackets to keep staff on set toastie.

‘Johnny paid out of his own pocket for all 500 of us to have a nice warm waterproof,' a happy member of the crew told The Sun.

‘It's a great morale boost and another example of why he is one of the nicest people in Hollywood.’

The waterproof hiking jackets cost Johnny £80 each, coming to a huge total of £40,000.

A couple of weeks ago the Hollywood heartthrob surprised children at a London school by appearing in character as Captain Jack Sparrow after one pupil wrote to him.
