Depp Keeps Sparrow Sexually Ambiguous

By WENN| Wednesday, June 28, 2006

HOLLYWOOD - Johnny Depp is keen to keep his Pirates of the Caribbean character Captain Jack Sparrow's sexual orientation ambiguous, because he is convinced real pirates dabbled with both sexes.

The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory heartthrob was inspired after reading historical study Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition by Barry R. Burg, which argues homosexuality was rampant among seafarers in the 17th century Caribbean.

Depp says, "I liked the idea of (Jack) being ambiguous because women were thought to be bad luck on ships and these pirates would go out for years at a time.

"So, you know, there is a possibility that one thing might lead to another. You're lonely. You have an extra ration of rum."

It's not that he's gay or straight, it's just that he's non-discriminate about who he'll shag.

He's like Captain Jack in Doctor Who!! Aww!

Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition sounds like an interesting read. Was it really not known? Isn't that what Cabin Boys were for?

And a pet peeve. There's Sodomy. We know what they did in Sodom. There is no Gomorry! What on Earth did they do on Gomorrah?

Johnny Depp almost got canned?
Wow, I think he makes that movie. He is by far the best actor and character.
I cant imagine anyone else in the role.

While I agree that Johnny Depp absolutely makes the movie fabulous...Geoffrey Rush's Barbossa is an amazing character as well.

At least Johnny is really staying true to the role. Gay pirates. Wow. I mean bi pirates. Makes sense. Learn something new everyday.
