The 'Jack Sparrow Run' originated from the Pirates of the Caribbean films where the character Jack Sparrow, portrayed by Johnny Depp, exhibits a distinctive, frantic running style with his arms wildly flailing. This run is especially memorable in a scene from 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,' which was released on June 16, 2006. The scene involves Sparrow fleeing from a group of cannibals, a comical and thrilling moment captured in the film. The craze for imitating this run gained notable popularity on TikTok during the Amber Heard vs. Johnny Depp trial in 2022, turning it into an internet challenge.
