Pirates of the Caribbean Movie Star backs ‘LOVELY’ Johnny Depp for more Jack Sparrow movies

 

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN star Johnny Depp's Hollywood future has been looking unclear after his libel trial's ruling, but one of his Pirates co-stars Greg Ellis has shown support for the "lovely" star and backed him for more Jack Sparrow movies.

Earlier this month, Johnny Depp’s libel case against The Sun newspaper was dismissed by a UK judge. The Hollywood star, who strongly denies allegations of domestic abuse, has since been asked by Warner Bros to resign from playing Harry Potter villain Gellert Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts movies, which he has agreed to. But despite the controversy, one of his Pirates of the Caribbean co-stars Greg Ellis has come to Depp’s defence.

The 52-year-old tweeted: “I’ve known JD for over a decade. Worked on 4 movies together.
