This actor turned down the role of Jack Sparrow – Johnny Depp was just his replacement

Johnny Depp played dozens of amazing roles, thanks to which his name is forever inscribed in the history of world cinema. And yet, the vast majority of viewers know him for his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the mega-popular Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

The “pirates” are loved and known in all countries, adults and children alike. This is why the public still does not believe that the creators of the sequel will ever be able to replace him with another character.

Brilliant facial expressions and comic talent made Kerry the most obvious prototype of Jack Sparrow. For some time the actor thought about playing in “Pirates” – but still decided to give preference to the main role in “Bruce Almighty”.

But even then, the creators did not turn to Johnny Depp! At first they offered the role to Hugh Jackman and Matthew McConaughey – but both considered the image of Jack Sparrow too dubious and unprofitable compared to the other characters. After that, the choice fell on Johnny. And how happy we are!
