Depp: Disney Hated His 'Gay' Jack Sparrow
By NIKKI FINKE, Tuesday November 30, 2010 @ 11:09pm PST
Johnny Depp was interviewed by Vanity Fair on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and had one interesting revelation: "They couldn't stand him. They just couldn't stand him," Depp says of Disney's reaction to his controversial interpretation of Sparrow. "I think it was Michael Eisner, the head of Disney at the time, who was quoted as saying, 'He's ruining the movie.' Depp reveals that he remained unfazed by the studio's hysteria. "Upper-echelon Disney-ites, going, 'What's wrong with him? Is he, you know, like some kind of weird simpleton? Is he drunk? By the way, is he gay?...' And so I actually told this woman who was the Disney-ite... 'But didn't you know that all my characters are gay?' Which really made her nervous."
ahahaha! Sometimes I'm indifferent about Johnny Depp, but sometimes I really love him.
