Russell Brand In Pirates Of The Caribbean?

Russell Brand is in talks to star alongside Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean 4, according to UK reports.

The big haired comedian is currently keeping a lower profile than usual after causing an uproar on his radio show for pulling a prank on actor Andrew Sachs.

This could be the opportunity Russell needs to win over the public and regain his title as Britain's favourite bad boy.

A source tells The Sun, "There's a lot of Jack Sparrow in his mannerisms and behaviour. Depp's accent isn't a million miles away from Russell's either.

"Russell joining the Sparrows alongside Johnny and Keith Richards as their dad will complete the ultimate on-screen pirate family."
