Pirates of the Caribbean fans are realising 'dark' secret about Jack Sparrow
Even though it's been years since the movie franchise came to an end, Pirates of the Caribbean fans are only just discovering a very "dark" secret about Captain Jack Sparrow If you've ever watched Disney's five part movie franchise Pirates of the Caribbean, you'll be familiar with Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp. The first movie, called Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, follows pirate Jack Sparrow and the blacksmith Will Turner, played by Orlando Bloom, as they attempt to rescue the kidnapped Elizabeth Swann, portrayed by Keira Knightley. After premiering in 2003, the film was a massive box-office success where it grossed $654.3 million (£480.5 million) worldwide. Since then, four more movies were released in the franchise, with stars now teasing that a sixth movie might be in the works. Despite it having been over 22 years since the first movie was released, fans are just learning the reason why Jack became a pirate and the Captain of the Black Pearl ship. In a deleted scene from the third movie, called Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Jack is seen speaking to Lord Cutler Beckett, who is the chairman of the East India Trading Company and is on a mission to eliminate piracy. During the scene, it becomes apparent that Jack had once worked for Lord Beckett, as he expresses his disappointment in Jack. "We had a deal, Jack," Lord Beckett said to the pirate. "I contracted you to deliver cargo on my behalf. You chose to liberate it." To this, Jack coldly replied: "People aren't cargo, mate." "Your good deed cost me, Jack," Lord Beckett replied, to which Jack said: "And you have spared me any possibility of ending up as anything other than what I am." This deleted scene was discussed on the Sunday Cooltee podcast, where the hosts went on to explain how this had to do with the reason the Black Pearl became cursed. "The whole reason that Jack Sparrow's ship was black," one of the hosts, named Andy, started. He went on to mention the deleted scene in question, where it becomes apparent that Jack had freed the slaves he was ordered to 'deliver' to Lord Beckett. "Apparently, Jack Sparrow worked for the East India Trading Company forever ago, and the Black Pearl was given to him under contract from Beckett to be running goods from these places," he said, before explaining how one of cargos he'd been assigned were slaves. Jack went on to free all the slaves, using the Black Pearl which wasn't black at the time. Beckett then catches up with Jack and lights the Black Pearl on fire, making it burn down and sink. "And so he literally lost his ship, turned to pirating because he freed slaves," the podcast host explained. This later lead to Jack having to make a deal with Davey Jones to bring his ship back. "And that's why also people are terrified when they see the Black Pearl. Because it shouldn't exist," another co-host named Joshua said. People were amazed to learn this unknown detail of the backstory, and many fans were quick to wonder why the scene wasn't in the original version. "This story would make great prequel," one person commented, while a second person said: "He became a pirate through a good deed." "I still can't believe we were robbed of this," a third person added. Another person also shared: "Also why Jones makes Sparrows life worth 100 souls as that's roughly how many slaves he freed."

Sharon Osbourne confesses 'biggest mistake' she ever made with husband Ozzy
Sharon Osbourne once shut down an opportunity for her husband, Ozzy, and admits she regrets her decision. Ozzy, 76, was offered an audition for "Pirates of the Caribbean," and Sharon, 72, argued it wasn't a good role for her husband. "Do you want to know the biggest mistake I ever made with Ozzy?" Sharon asked host Billy Corgan on his "The Magnificent Others" podcast. "He got offered to go and read for 'Pirates of the Caribbean'… I've never said this to anyone, and I said no." "Now wouldn't he have been perfect?" Sharon added. The podcast host replied, "He would have been perfect! Maybe it's not too late, but God bless." "Because when Johnny [Depp] wanted Keith [Richards] to be a pirate, you remember?" Sharon said, as she referred to the Rolling Stones' lead guitarist. Richards was featured in "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" as Captain Teague. Ozzy has made other appearances on the silver screen, as he took on roles in "Austin Powers in Goldmember," "Little Nicky" and more. Sharon's candid confession comes after the rocker recently admitted he was having difficulty walking due to his ongoing health issues. "I go on about the way I can't walk, and I can't do this… but you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I'm still alive," he said on the Jan. 29 episode of his Sirius XM show, "Ozzy Speaks." Ozzy continued, "I may be moaning about how I can't walk, but I look down the road and there's people that didn't do half as much as me, and they didn't make it." "There's so many friends and acquaintances that have gone." He added that, "I have to balance myself" when he gets out of bed. "I'm not dead, still actively doing things." Ozzy is due to perform one final show with Black Sabbath's original lineup in July in Birmingham, England. "It's my time to go back to the beginning, time for me to give back to the place where I was born," Ozzy previously said in a statement. "How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham forever." The Black Sabbath lead vocalist was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2003. In 2023, Osbourne announced he was retiring from touring, explaining he was no longer "physically capable" of traveling as much as his tour schedule demanded.
