According to Disney's officials, guitarist Keith Richards refused to play as Johnny Depp's father in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' sequels and it appears it all now depends on Johnny's charm, who is a good friend of the singer, to make him change his opinion.
Richards, 62, declared that he did once talked with Johnny about this role, and they even tried to create the costumes for the characters, but he doesn't believe it is a good time for him to play in a movie, because of his busy schedule.
"Johnny and I spent a great afternoon trying to get these things (costumes) on. But that doesn't mean I'm doing it. At the moment I've turned them down.
They're shooting while I'm touring. I'd love to do it if there was no hassle, but it would be a side trip. I know what my gig is.
The idea of working for Disney gives me the shivers in the first place," ratethemusic quoted Richards, as saying.
Keith Richards, born December 18, 1943, is a British guitarist and songwriter, best known for his work with The Rolling Stones, the band he founded with vocalist Mick Jagger and Brian Jones in 1962.
In addition to his work with The Stones, Richards also has worked as a session guitarist with artists as varied as Gram Parsons, Tom Waits, Bono and The Edge of U2, Nona Hendryx, John Phillips and Aretha Franklin.
