Johnny Depp: ‘I could play Captain Jack Sparrow forever’

Hollywood star Johnny Depp has revealed he doesn’t want to hang up the hat of his biggest blockbuster movie character – Captain Jack Sparrow.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star told UK Star magazine: “I can’t wait to get back in costume. Some people will say: ‘Aha, Depp sold out by doing the sequels’. But it was never an issue for me. I love Captain Jack so much I’d do Pirates 7 if they asked me.”
The 46-year-old star – who is reportedly earning £21 million to appear in the fourth instalment of the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides – realised he was obsessed with the character while he was shooting the first movie.
Depp added: “Sometimes you fall in love with who you’re playing. As filming winds down, you hear the clock ticking because you know you’re going to leave your character behind and a kind of odd separation anxiety kicks in. You get irritable and just sort of melancholy. That’s what happened to me when we wrapped the first Pirates of the Caribbean.
“I realised I was going to miss Captain Jack. I had felt so comfortable being him and being in that skin. Suddenly you go: ‘Am I ever going to see him again?’”
