Dead Men Tell No Tales
Depp is open about his undying love for music, especially The Beatles. The actor attended the 2014 Grammys afterparty, which was hosted by McCartney, with a US source revealing that Depp, his then-fiancé Amber Heard, McCartney and his wife Nancy Shevell spent the entire night talking: “They ate and drank with Paul until he was ready to leave, and the foursome left together,”
Depp has open about his undying love for music, especially The Beatles, (as Faroutmagazine reports). The actor attended the 2014 Grammys afterparty, which was hosted by McCartney, with a US source revealing that Depp, his then-fiancé Amber Heard, McCartney and his wife Nancy Shevell spent the entire night talking: “They ate and drank with Paul until he was ready to leave, and the foursome left together,”
After Heard apparently accused Depp of domestic abuse in 2019, (which Depp came clean from) the Beatles singer showed support for Depp in May of this year.
At the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, the former Beatle had a clip of Depp playing the guitar to his song ‘My Valentine’ in the background taken from the official music video. The musician has also openly supported Depp in behind-the-scenes footage of his cameo in Pirates of the Carribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which would be Depp’s final appearance in the supremely popular franchise.
“I’ve known Johnny a while. You know, I always admired him as Jack Sparrow,” McCartney shares in the footage. “He said, ‘I’d love you to be in the next one’. I said, ‘What, me, a pirate?’ He says, ‘Yeah, you could do it and have a lot of fun’. So, he wrote me in. It was great. I’m loving it.”

He added: “He got me a lot of favours in the past; he’s been in some of my music videos, so you know, this is my way of repaying him”.
On the trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge features the semi-surprise return of Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Swann and Paul McCartney, who was cast after the main shoot had been completed. His appearance has been described as “an extra big set-piece scene”, which is reportedly “built around” McCartney.
The circumstances of McCartney’s role in the film are intriguingly fuzzy; though Deadline had multiple sources tell them that McCartney filmed a scene in the movie, none of them would describe his role, which coauld mean it’s something totally insane (for example, playing Paul McCartney’s pirate great-great-grndfather!)
