Johnny Depp’s Ridiculous Idea About His ‘Pirates’ Role Almost Made the Director Paranoid About Getting Disney Onboard!
Disney’s massively successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise owes much of its popularity to Johnny Depp’s portrayal of the iconic character, Jack Sparrow. Fans of the series can’t imagine a sequel without him. However, many of Depp’s quirky ideas for the character, which could have added even more personality to Sparrow, were not embraced by Disney.
One of Depp’s ideas involved experimenting with Jack Sparrow’s nose, making it a central weak point for the character. Depp hoped to convey Sparrow’s greatest fear through his nose, causing him to dread common things like the flu or pepper in his nasal cavity. However, Disney dismissed the idea, showing little faith in Depp’s exaggerated portrayal.
Even Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski was left puzzled by Depp’s suggestion. He had no idea how to present this idea to Disney. In fact, Disney officials had doubts about Depp’s version of Jack Sparrow, believing it wouldn’t entertain fans enough. However, the huge success of the first film in 2003 proved them wrong.
Inspired by Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and Pepe le Pew, Depp incorporated elements of their personas into Jack Sparrow’s character. Despite the Disney officials’ distaste for his interpretation, the immense success of the franchise silenced their criticisms.
However, following Depp’s defamation trial with his ex-wife Amber Heard, Disney decided to sever all ties with the actor and his involvement in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. It remains uncertain whether Depp will return for the sixth installment or not.
