Johnny Depp: I play Jack Sparrow as gay<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean is one of Johnny Depp’s most iconic film characters ever, and he has revealed he plays the drunk ship captain as gay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actor was recounting how he was nearly fired from the Disney film as he was taking part in the American Film Institute festival’s onstage discussions at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Back in 2002, when he first took on the role, the way he decided to play Jack Sparrow had Disney executives worried.<\/p>\n

‘It trickled back to me somehow that, “Goddammit, Johnny Depp’s ruining the film! What is that thing? Is it drunk, is it gay<\/a>?’ Depp said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said he was called in to meet with someone at the ‘upper echelon of the studio’ to explain his acting choices.<\/p>\n

‘What the fuck<\/a> are you doing”‘ he remembered the executive saying. ‘When they asked if it was gay<\/a>, I said: “Did you know all my characters are gay<\/a>?”‘Out of four films, the franchise has grossed $3.73 billion worldwide. A fifth film is due in 2017. Somehow, that Disney executive is probably not questioning Depp’s acting choices any more.<\/p>\n
