Keith Richards Shuns Hollywood Role

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards missed out on the chance to play Johnny Depp's dad in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' sequels, because he is too busy.

Depp was desperate for Richards to cameo in the forthcoming follow-up films, after basing his pirate character Captain Jack Sparrow on the hell-raising rocker.

But Richards insists his work with the Rolling Stones comes first.

His son Marlon says, "He'd love to do it, but it looks as if the window of opportunity has passed him by."

"He's just too busy with the Stones."

Keith Richards Will Star In "Pirates" Sequel

Rolling Stone Keith Richards will star as Captain Jack Sparrow's father in one of the two upcoming 'Pirates of the Caribbean' sequels, co-star Bill Nighy has confirmed.

Johnny Depp, who plays Captain Sparrow, has been trying to persuade Richards to make a cameo for months, after revealing his character was based on the guitarist.

It was thought The Rolling Stones tour schedule stood in the way, but Depp was confident - earlier this month he said, "It's looking very good."

And Nighy - who plays Davey Jones in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' - is happy to end the speculation.

The British actor says, "I can confirm, Keith Richards will appear in Pirates of the Caribbean 2 or 3. I'm not sure which one, because they are being filmed back to back."
