Although producers have sought Rolling Stone Keith Richards to play the father of Captain Jack Sparrow in the sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean, the rocker has said that it is looking unlikely that he will be able to take the role.
IOL.com reports that Richards has spent time on the set with Johnny Depp (Sparrow), but has still not confirmed that he will take part in the movies.
He explained: "Johnny and I spent a great afternoon trying to get these things (costumes) on. But that doesn't mean I'm doing it. At the moment I've turned them down.
"They're shooting while I'm touring. I'd love to do it if there was no hassle, but it would be a side trip. I know what my gig is. The idea of working for Disney gives me the shivers in the first place."
Depp has previously suggested that he based his portrayal of his character on Richards.
