you know there are people in this world who make a career out of being really really good captain jack sparrow impersonators so idk if they really want to keep making more pirates movies it would be really fucking easy to replace johnny depp lol…
I have had this exact thought multiple times, there are -women- I’ve met who could play him and you’d barely notice
Johnny Depp impersonators are like, their own class, like Elvis impersonators
you could replace Depp in all movies that producers wanted his character type in ever and no one would be the wiser
^^^
Pirates of the Carribean
but every scene is an entirely different depp impersonator
no one notices until the credits roll and there are like 1700 names for “Captain Jack Sparrow”
this is the dream
Ten years ago I was at Disney World and the face actor for Jack was spot-the-entire-fuck-on. A little kid in a Jack Sparrow costume walked up to him and he stared a moment and said “Well… you look familiar!” with just perfect comic timing, then leaned down and asked the kid “er, where’s your mum?” When she was pointed out, he stood up, squinted suspiciously at her for a moment, then said “Oh, good, you don’t look familiar.”
He was just so good, we stood there and watched him for like ten minutes. Hire that dude. Shoot Johnny Depp into the sun.
