Disney ‘hated’ Jack Sparrow

JOHNNY DEPP’S flamboyant portrayal of Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean was good enough for an Oscar nomination, but the actor said Disney was less than thrilled.

In an interview with rocker Patti Smith for the January edition of Vanity Fair magazine, Depp said Disney “couldn’t stand” his Sparrow and one person there even asked if the character was gay.

Depp told the Disney executive “all my characters are gay” and he said that “really made her nervous”.
