Hollywood star Johnny Depp reveals he almost got fired from 2003's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" because of his portrayal of the lead character Jack Sparrow.
“I fully expected to be fired, and I got a call from the upper echelon at Disney who were courageous enough to ask me, 'What are you doing?'," he said. Amused, Depp recalled how producers hated how he appeared to slur his words and mumble on-screen. "The questions came up, 'Is (the performance) drunk?' I really expected to be fired, but I wasn't for some reason. They were actually gonna put subtitles under my character. They couldn't understand Captain Jack," Depp said.
