He's starred in four of the Pirates Of The Caribbean films.

But even Johnny Depp needs some help when it comes to mastering his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.

On Tuesday it was not just the 51-year-old actor spotted on set of the fifth installment of the film, Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, in Queensland, but also his body double.

Decked out in the garbs of the iconic lead character, the stuntman wore a dingy brown coat, maroon bandana and extravagant hairpiece.

No doubt some action scenes amidst the rough seas were just around the corner, as the body double walked across the outdoor set in the company of a crew member.

He sported black boots and held onto a prop which seemed to resemble a grey coloured hat.

Johnny was also seen preparing to shoot scenes for the $300million blockbuster.

The Alice In Wonderland star arrived in a black SUV, and was greeted on the scene by a few eager fans, including a mother who held her child in one hand and took the a once in a lifetime shot with the other.

Johnny recently jetted back to Los Angeles to celebrate the 16th birthday of daughter Lily-Rose - one of two children he had with ex-partner Venessa Paradis, in addition to 13-year-old Jack.

He and current partner, his 29-year-old wife Amber Heard, touched down in Queensland on Monday, where the Gold Coast Bulletin reports they were left waiting on the tarmac for over an hour while customs searched their aircraft.

The cause of the search was Johnny not declaring Yorkshire Terrier's Pistol and Boo when he flew into the country in April.

Ensuring they wouldn't forget to declare any more furry friends, a number of custom officials in luminescent yellow vests swarmed the multi-million dollar plane and scoured the couple's luggage.

The issue became a worldwide news story when Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said it was time the dogs 'buggered off back to the US' or face being put down.

After several days, the pooches were put on a jet and flown back to the US - with the actor thought to have spent $320,000 to fly them home.

A federal investigation has now been launched to determine whether The Pirates of the Caribbean star should be prosecuted for not declaring Pistol and Boo in April.

It wasn't the first time filming of the fifth flick in the series was halted, with Johnny flying back to the States for a month back in March after sustaining a hand injury.
