It’s possible that the Radio 2 “Sachsgate” phone prank scandal was the best thing to happen to Russell Brand’s career as he’s rumored to be close to signing a deal to appear in Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Johnny Depp‘s doppelganger could play his onscreen brother Captain Jonathan Sparrow, and frankly, we think it’s a no-brainer.
“There couldn’t be a role more perfectly suited. There’s a lot of Jack Sparrow in his mannerisms and behaviour. Depp’s accent isn’t a million miles away from Russell’s either,” reports The Sun
We’ve got a soft spot for Russell (must be one of the only people he hasn’t yet slept with so surely it’s just a matter of time!) despite the media storm, and we hope it turns out to be true. Hey, he’ll easily replace Keira Knightley as our preferred eye candy. [Photo: Splash News Online]
