people talking out of their behind?!?

Thinking about Danny Bullshit on my last post has just reminded me of a cracker.

My wife works in the Prison Service and used to work at Hull Prison. This would be about 6 or so years ago back, a year or so after Pirates of the Caribbean had first come out. Anyway there was an officer that worked on the same wing who had changed his name to Captain Jack Sparrow. He used to walk around in the same weird sort of way, sang sea shanties as he was walking around, had his hair the same way as Johnny Depp did and even had the same little goatee as the Deppster. (I never got to meet him but my wife says he did actually look a fair bit like him). He said that he had contacted the people that supplied the costumes to the film and asked them to make him an exact replica of Johnny's costume. When they then started to make the 2nd and 3rd films (they filmed them at the same time apparently) the costume people told the film company about Captain Jack and his passion for the films. So apparently the film company were so impressed with his devotion to all things Piratey that they offered to fly him out to LA to be an extra so he took 2 months unpaid leave and went out there. When he got there they liked him so much they decided he should have a proper part so they re-wrote the script to give him a nice juicy part to play. His character was supposed to the new member of the bloke from The Office with the wooden eye and his bald chum’s little gang. As these were pretty big characters in the film he said he would be on screen loads and he was really important. Loads of people asked him what was going to happen in the next 2 films but he said that because he'd been made to sign a contract he couldn't tell anyone what happened in the film and the reason he didn't have a tan despite filming in LA and in the Caribbean was because his scenes were mostly set indoors. He also said he’d become really good mates with Johnny Depp during filming and was going back out to America later in the year for Johnny’s birthday party. Anyway just before the 2nd film came out Captain Jack suddenly had to go on long term sick with stress so he wasn’t around when it hit the cinemas but a big group of people from the prison that went to the pictures to watch it to see Captain Jack but the couldn't see him anywhere. He came back a few months later after it had all died down and said they must have cut every single one of his scenes but that he'd definitely in the next one as he was really central to the plot. So again just before it came out he went off on long term sick, he wasn't in this one either, not even a mention in the credits or a peep of him in the background.

He never came back to work and after some digging someone on the wing got hold of one of neighbours who said he'd never left the country to do any filming but had spent a couple of months at home when he said he was away. They also said that he'd up’d and left Hull around the time the 3rd film came out, presumably because he couldn't face the embarrassment of telling everyone he's been talking out of his arse.
