Paul McCartney revealed his 'Pirates 5' character and honestly just WHY?!
Yo ho
yo ho, it's apparently going to be a pirate's life
for McCartney!
Paul
McCartney — yes,
Sir Paul McCartney from The Beatles, that's the guy — on Sunday posted a photo
of his Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales character, which was
announced last March.
McCartney
will be starring in the upcoming Pirates of
the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Yeah, no — we have no idea why or how this is
happening either. But it's happening.
A
74-year-old McCartney posted a promo poster for the fifth Pirates film that shows him looking
remarkably like his now co-star, Johnny Depp. McCartney's pirate hair, beard,
makeup, bandana, hat, rings, AHH this man is almost unrecognizable.
What
is going on?
According to IMDB, the singer will be playing "Jail Guard 2," which
doesn't tell us much. [my blog saw the film at Cinemacon and, while we don't want to spoil anything, the
truth is there's not much to spoil. The appearance is so brief that you could
tip a rum bottle and miss it.]
Though this casting seems slightly out-of-the-blue, Rolling Stones guitarist, Keith Richards, appeared in the franchise's third film, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, so this is apparently a thing classic rock stars do?
Richards
played the role of Captain Teague,
Jack Sparrow’s father, which must have been a joy for Depp, who based his character's mannerisms after Richards.
Even so, we honestly just have so many questions — mainly:
Has Paul been dreaming on starring alongside Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow for YEARS and we just never knew?
How
is there even a fifth installment in the Pirates franchise anyways?
Is
this cool? This is a man who recently collaborated with
freaking Kanye West and Rihanna on "FourFiveSeconds," so it must be,
right?
Why, Paul? WHY are you doing this? Tell. Us.
The
film is set to come out on May 26, so it's not long before
we get our answers.

Why? Obviously because he and Johnny Depp are friends. Let him do whatever he wants!
ReplyDeleteIf he can pull it off why not? It's so much fun to be in a movie like this. Plus. He is very wealthy, he could be a huge contributor to production finances.
ReplyDeleteI think the better question is - why does it bother you so much?
ReplyDeleteOh, c'mon. Are y'all forgetting Keith Richards was in one of the "Pirates" movies?
ReplyDeleteHe obviously loves pirates. He was married to someone with a wooden leg, FFS.
ReplyDeleteWhy not have a bit of fun. Sorry to hear it is only a brief appearance. He's done other movies, you know! Love the poster!
ReplyDeleteWhy does anyone care. The Beatles music isn't going to mysteriously disappear because he's doing something fun. Lighten up
ReplyDeleteHe's still trying to be like Keith after all these years! 😂
ReplyDeleteThis cheapens the once-incredible artistic integrity of this series! Ghastly! This is how art gets destroyed! We can't have good things!
ReplyDeleteHey, I don't know if it's real or not, but I'd love to see this!!
ReplyDeleteWhy ... Because he can!
ReplyDeleteNow move along please nothing to see here
Why not? He is paul mccartney. He can do what ever he wants.
ReplyDeletehehe i won't be surprised if he started singing some jolly 'ole pirate song lolz ��
ReplyDeleteHe probably thought, "What the hell, it'll be a hoot!" :-D
ReplyDeleteOh "LET IT BE"
ReplyDeleteWhy not? It's Pirates 5. Maybe he always wanted to be a pirate? Good for him.
ReplyDeleteIf Keith can do it, so can Paul...
ReplyDeleteWill there be a yellow submarine?
