Digital Spy – The Pirates Of The Caribbean stars have become mates thanks to spending so much time together on location, says Mackenzie Crook – by Dave West.

Two sequels to the movie are being filmed in one go, so actors including Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley have been together on a Caribbean island for quite a while.

“It’s been an incredible and intense period of work,” Office star Crook told The Sun. “It took so much longer than anyone could’ve expected.”

“We had no choice but to become good mates. When we’re on location we’re all living in each other’s pockets,” said the actor, who plays Raggetti in the films. “But we got to spend pretty much a year on a Caribbean island shooting them, so we’ve had an amazing time.”

He told fans to expect more of his well-loved pirate antics, saying: “I’m still the same old Raggeti that you know and love. I don’t run away with the heroine or anything, there’s no romance for me.”

“But there’s lots more eyeball gags,” he added. “I’ve even got my own action figure now, it’s what I’ve been working towards. I can die a happy man.”

According to the Sydney Morning Herald in an article entitled The New Stones Age, writer Patrick Donovan says Keith Richards will be a bloody pirate after all…

For most shows, Richards has been singing the new song This Place Is Empty as well as his classic, Happy. How does it feel singing that joyous song each night?

“I love it. People don’t usually associate happiness when they think of Keith Richards. But I’m a very happy guy. I’ve had my f—ups – but who hasn’t?”

Once Richards finishes this tour he will take up a new hobby – acting. He’s playing the father of Johnny Depp’s Captain Sparrow character in Pirates of the Caribbean 2 – a role he was born for.

“Johnny Depp came over the other day with 3000 pirate costumes, which we tried on all day. I wanted to keep some tall boots.”

Johnny Depp explains his special relationship with Tim Burton

The Guardian – Many a moon has passed since the days of my brief brush with TV stardom, or whatever one might dare call it. I mostly think of them as the do-or-die years: picture, if you will, the confused young man hurtling dangerously towards the flash-in-the-pan at sound-breaking speed. Or, on a more positive note, forced education, with decent dividends in the short term. Either way, it was a scary time when so-called TV actors weren’t eagerly received into the fickle fold of film folk. Fortunately, I was more than determined – even desperate – to break away from my ascent/descent. The chances were nearly impossible, until the likes of John Waters and Tim Burton had enough courage and vision to give me a chance to attempt to build my own foundation on my own terms. Anyway, no time to digress… this has all been said before.
