The Hollywood legend will play a noblewoman in the opening sequence of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which is the fourth instalment of the swashbuckling franchise starring Johnny Depp.

In the scene, Johnnys character Captain Jack Sparrow is on the run and in a bid to escape he leaps into a carriage belonging to the noblewoman. Sparrow will then distract the lady while he steals her possessions by ravishing her.

Judi is only believed to appear in the movie for a couple of minutes, but the scene is a memorable one. British newspaper The Daily Mail reports Judi and Johnny who previously worked together on Chocolat couldnt stop laughing while they were filming.

The films director Rob Marshall is said to have approached Judi about the role after he formed a bond with her when they worked together on the musical movie Nine.
