As "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales" fans are getting quite excited for the upcoming Disney nautical film, it seems that the film's lead stars are plagued with controversies. According to the latest report, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, who play the roles of Jack Sparrow and Will Turner respectively, are allegedly feuding.
Before we delve deeper into the Sparrow-Turner conflict, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales" star Johnny Depp has already caused quite a scandal earlier this year. According to E! News, Depp and his wife Amber Heard disobeyed an Australian law regarding animal import and transported two Yorkshire terriers.
In May, Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce accused Depp of smuggling his dogs aboard his private plane when he arrived in Australia on Apr. 21 to resume filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales."
When the local quarantine officials knew about the dogs, the couple was ordered to take their pets out of the country. So, the couple immediately transported their dogs out of Australia via a private jet. Now, Depp finally broke his silence about the issue during a press conference at the Venice Film Festival.
"I killed my dogs and ate them under direct orders from some kind of, I don't know, sweaty, big-gutted man from Australia," 52-year-old Johnny Depp sarcastically said.
Meanwhile, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" costars Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom reportedly can't stand each other and an issue about a serious bad blood between the two stars has emerged. As per Celeb Dirty Laundry, the "Black Mass" actor was allegedly furious when Disney recruited Bloom to try and save the sinking film. He also accused the 38-year-old Brit actor for stealing the spotlight and was seething when Bloom allegedly bragged about his $5 million paycheck.
"[Johnny's] so angry that Orlando was brought in to save the franchise," an insider told Ok! Magazine Sept. 14 issue. "There has long been bad blood between the two of them... They can't stand each other."
Despite Depp's hang-up, Disney didn't seem to have many options when looking for an original cast franchise cast member to reinvigorate the new film.
In other news, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales" star Johnny Depp and wife Amber Heard were recently spotted hitting the red carpet together. USA Today's Entertain This! noted that the husband-and-wife tandem seemed to have over accessorized at the Venice Film festival on Friday.
