Johnny Depp Nixes Captain Jack Toothpaste
Pirates of the Caribbean has become a billion-dollar movie franchise, with a third movie about to be released and countless co-branded products lining store shelves. But the movie’s marketing moguls were recently snubbed by star Johnny Depp.
When Depp, who plays Captain Jack Sparrow, was asked to endorse toothpaste, the actor scoffed at the idea. “Captain Jack toothpaste seemed all wrong,” Depp told the Daily Star. “How can a guy with gold teeth sell toothpaste? It’s like a bald man selling shampoo.”
