Johnny Depp finds his ‘dad’

Keith Richards is not the first person one would think of as a father figure -- but Johnny Depp says that’s all about to change.

The Rolling Stones guitarist is lined up to play the swashbuckling father of a pirate in the third installment of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series, Depp told reporters in London on Tuesday.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer said Richards would have a cameo role as the father of the flamboyant Capt. Jack Sparrow, played by Depp. The third “Pirates” movie is to resume filming next month in California.

Depp, 43, has said he adopted Richards’ body language and mannerisms to create the Capt. Jack character.
