most characters including his walk.
“Jack’s body language came from extreme heat. I thought that Jack was out on the open
sea for long, long periods of time and he’d be subjected to the elements,” said Depp. “What
happens when you lock yourself in a very, very hot place is that starts to affect the way you
move. You get very uncomfortable and that’s how Jack’s movements were informed.”
Captain Jack Sparrow is generally loved by the public. Sparrow has millions of fans all
over the world. Despite Sparrow’s faults fans still adore him even Depp is amazed by the
admiration.

and supported me was a win-win situation.”
