...I saw something that made me smile. Of course, I feel like crap (
my head is still filled with WAY to much mucas, though getting some meds has helped) so admittedly it probably wouldn't take much to make me smile today.
Apparently Disney was less than thrilled with Depp's "flamboyant portrayal" of the good Captain Sparrow. Which honestly has me scratching my head. Now granted I'm not a history buff, but from what I understand pirates (back then) probably weren't that far off in flamboyant behavior from Jack Sparrow (though actual pirates probably behaved a little more darkly, shall we say? then Jack Sparrow.).
Honestly, I had no idea about any of this, which somewhat surprises me, but anyway according to my local paper Depp talked about all this with Patti Smith for the January edition of
Vanity Fair magizine. Telling them/her that Disney "couldn't stand" his Sparrow, and apparently one person there even asked if Sparrow was gay.
*rolls on the floor*
(
Okay, yes, I laughed, but didn't actually start rolling around on the floor.)
Methinks some poor bastard is walking through life seeing teh gay everywhere. "I see gay people (characters)!" And you thought it was just slashers. *evil grin*
Honestly, while I am a slasher I didn't see Jack Sparrow as anymore or less gay then any of the other characters in the movie(s). So, I don't understand why Disney (or a few people from Disney) would be seeing teh gay in his performance anymore then any of the others. But slashers don't let that stop you from squeeing over "canon" (or at least actor confirmed) gay Jack Sparrow.*coughs*
Depp's response (
if true, I mean Depp is saying it, but I'm assuming there is no confirmation from the person who supposedly asked the question) to the Disney executive is awesome! "All my characters are gay."
