Johnny Depp says he hasn’t watched Pirates of the Caribbean and will never return to play Jack Sparrow

At the end of 2018, Disney fired the actor from one of the most successful and highest-grossing franchises due to allegations of violence by his ex-wife Amber Heard. However, Johnny himself would not want to appear in “Pirates” again, even if the company changed its mind. He announced this at the next meeting of the court. During his testimony, Hurd’s lawyer asked Depp if he was ready to return to the role of Jack Sparrow:

Mr. Depp, even if Disney came to you with $300 million and a million alpacas, nothing in the world would make you work with them again on Pirates of the Caribbean. All right?

That’s right, Mr. Rotterbourne,” Depp confirmed his reluctance to play the iconic captain.

Depp also noted that although he was removed from “Pirates”, the character of Jack Sparrow still appears in amusement parks and toy stores. And until recently, he himself visited sick children in hospitals and hospices in the form of Captain Jack to please them.

Also during the interrogation, the actor admitted that he still had not watched the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl”.

Johnny Depp just said in court that he never watched the first Pirates. Remember he was nominated for an Oscar for this film? This is a twist,” journalist Matthew Belloni posted in his micro-blog.

But the fact that Johnny Depp does not watch films with his participation is not a secret. The actor has previously said that his children saw more of his paintings than he did, and during the promotional tour of “Johnny D.” He stated that he had no idea what the film was about. He explains this by saying that he likes the process of creating an image and reincarnation, and the rest is not interesting to him.

Last Wednesday, the 58-year-old actor gave another testimony proving various cases of abuse by the 35-year-old Heard. The most memorable moment was the fight of the spouses in 2015, when Depp almost lost his finger. He also demonstrated the remaining injuries to the court. In a fit of quarrel, the wife allegedly threw a bottle of vodka at him, which crashed on the table and injured Depp. The injury was so severe that it could have led to amputation.

Unlike Johnny, Amber’s film career is not as successful. At the moment, her most famous work is the role of the Amazon princess Mera in the superhero film “Aquaman” and its sequel. Depp’s ex-wife is expected to testify in the next few days. The actress will give her version of events. The trial will take at least a week before a verdict is issued.

Recall that the life of Johnny Depp changed radically after Heard published an article in 2018, in which she spoke about the abuse by her husband. The accusations inevitably brought the couple to court – the actor accused his ex-wife of slander. In the process, Depp was instantly blacklisted by Hollywood – the actor lost the role of Jack Sparrow in the upcoming “Pirates”, and the role of the villain Grindelwald in “Fantastic Beasts” was ceded to Mads Mikkelson.
