"I was always very shy": Johnny Depp Would Admit He is Nothing Like His Most Famous Character in Real Life

SUMMARY

Despite achieving great success through his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Johnny Depp is very different from his character in real life.

Depp describes himself as “shy” and finds playing Captain Jack Sparrow, who is outgoing and cheeky, to be a new and enjoyable experience.

However, despite the popularity of the character, he is no longer interested in working with Disney.

Johnny Depp is known for his extensive and unconventional film choices. He has given amazing performances onscreen but achieved his greatest success through the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

There is no doubt that Depp’s iconic portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow helped the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise notch up so much success at the box office. The Hollywood star flawlessly played Captain Jack Sparrow and never failed to enchant his fans with his amazing acting skills.

But in real life, the actor is nowhere like his epic character. He depicted himself as “shy,” unlike Jack Sparrow, who can do anything.

In an interview with Men’s Health, Johnny Depp was asked how much fun he had with his character, Jack Sparrow. The actor replied that he enjoyed playing the character who is just opposite to his personality. It was something new to Depp, as he explained himself as “shy” while Captain Sparrow was “cheeky.” The 60-years-old went on to say:

“To be able to play a character like Captain Jack – who can virtually say anything, even if it makes no sense whatsoever, and then try to somehow make it make sense which just makes it even more jumbled and abstract, and get away with it… it’s weird. When I play Captain Jack there is rarely a time when I am not smiling, just being him makes me smile.

He can do anything, say anything… “Hello love!” As cheeky as can be. All that in one character who is everything which I am not. I can be cheeky but I was never that outgoing. I was always very shy. To be Captain Jack Sparrow, to find that within me, to allow myself to let that curtain drop away and be absurd and irreverent and try shit as a character, it’s a nonstop experiment.”

Playing the role of a legendary pirate of the Seven Seas gave Depp a whole lot of a different experience. Pirates fame actor might never forget the moments he had with his character, but he would never like to return as Jack Sparrow again.

Johnny Depp’s return as Captain Jack Sparrow in the sixth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean has become the massive talk of the town. But despite this, it looks like the star has no plans of working with Disney again, and now it doesn’t interest him at all.

According to Daily Mail, sources close to Depp said that Disney blindly “dropped him even though Amber had lied.” But in his testimony, the actor revealed that the production house wanted to cut ties with him long before Amber Heard‘s accusation came to light.

While testifying, the Secret Window actor has also confirmed that he will never play the role even if Disney offers him millions. So, it’s clear the fans will never get to see Johnny Depp as legendary Captain Jack Sparrow again.
