HOLLYWOOD ¨C While the return of the ¡°Pirates of the Caribbean¡± franchise has gotten mixed reviews from critics overseas, it¡¯s bound to be a hit in Japan for two reasons: Johnny Depp and Paul McCartney.
Depp plays the series¡¯ hero, Captain Jack Sparrow, and McCartney is playing his uncle.
¡°As a big music fan, I was thrilled we got Paul McCartney aboard as my Uncle Jack,¡± Depp tells The Japan Times. ¡°He looked the part and was so into it. It was almost like two kids playing. I didn¡¯t even feel like he was older than me, or an ex-Beatle ¡ª I mean talk about awesome.¡±
