Meet Johnny Depp's screen dad

Even as the world loves Johnny Depp, the actor himself is a fan of Rolling Stone Keith Richards. Apparently, Depp modelled his Jack Sparrow act in the blockbuster Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl on Richards. The role won him an Oscar nomination.

According to the BBC, Depp claimed he did not want to imitate Richards, but only offer a salute. He said he perceived pirates of the 18th century to be 'rock stars' and for him, the greatest living rock star is Keith Richards.

Now, People claims that Depp, 41 on June 19, wants Richards, 60, to play his father in the sequel, even if it is a cameo.

The sequel to Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl will go on the floors next year.

Though Depp missed the Oscar, he won the presitigious Screen Artists Guild trophy for his performance, three MTV awards in the best male, best comedic performance and best on-screen team (with Orlando Bloom) categories. Pirates also won the MTV best film, best villain (Geoffrey Rush) and breakthrough female (Keira Knightley) awards.
