I owe it all to Captain Jack’s role: Johnny Depp

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp revealed that he was not a "Blockbuster Boy" prior to Pirates of the Caribbean movie series.

In a recent interview with the Daily Telegraph, Depp confessed that producers were not confident about casting him in a major film because he wasn’t a "Blockbuster Boy." Depp also said that his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow has rescued his wavering career.

"I was the guy who had been bouncing around the film industry for years and I’d been lucky if five or 10 people would see my movies, so Captain Jack did a big flip for my career," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

The actor also divulged that he took on Captain Jack Sparrow with pure instinct, and had never anticipated that it was going to be a huge hit.

"When I decided to take the role, it was pure instinct. I didn’t know it was going to be such a huge hit. Nothing like this has ever happened to me. I am the luckiest guy in the world to have had such a great experience," he said. — ANI
