The role: Like his collaborations with Burton, it always feels like Depp and Terry Gilliam were made to work together.

And Depp got so close to gonzo Hunter S Thompson that this feels a little like some of the writer’s spirit (or is that spirits?) mixed with Depp’s. Off-the-charts, but perfect for it.

Jack Sparrow-o-meter: Drinks, smokes, hallucinates, trouble walking at times… Perfect! 9/10.
