In a TikTok shared by a fan account, Johnny is seen caught backstage by a fan, Christine Kelly, and he is kneeling in front of her wheelchair to speak with her.

He is prompted by another fan to impersonate his famous character, and he did so without hesitating of flinching, immediately taking on the pirate's drawl and long-winded tone of voice as he spoke of his usual drink of choice, rum.

Fans were promptly impressed by how swiftly he did the impersonation, particularly because of how different the actor looked in the video, with some even questioning if it was really Johnny himself.

Fans were really taken with the video

He appeared looking nothing like Jack, with a clean shaven face, wearing a bandana on his head and a black vest over a rolled up plaid button-down shirt.
