'Wouldn't he have been perfect?': Sharon Osbourne on Ozzy's audition for 'Pirates of the Caribbean'
Actress Sharon Osbourne revealed that she regrets stopping her husband, singer Ozzy Osbourne, after he received a chance to join the successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, said The Hollywood Reporter. Sharon was a guest on a recent episode of The Magnificent Others With Billy Corgan podcast. She revealed that her husband was offered to read for the film, and she regrets stopping it. "Do you want to know the biggest mistake I ever made with Ozzy? He got offered to go and read for Pirates of the Caribbean — and I've never said this to anyone," said Sharon. Along with the audience, the host, Corgon, was also shocked by this revelation. He asked, "And you said no? " Sharon confirmed, saying, "I said no. Now, wouldn't he have been perfect?" The pair laughed at what could've been and Sharon noted, "Because when Johnny [Depp] ... wanted Keith to be a pirate, you remember?" She was referring to Keith Richards, the guitarist of the Rolling Stones. Depp, who starred in the Pirates films as Captain Jack Sparrow, brought his long-time friend Richards on board to play his dad, Captain Teague. According to The Hollywood Reporter, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said last year that the future of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise — which has earned more than $4.5 billion (Dh16 billion) worldwide — involves a reboot. In 2022, Bruckheimer said that he thought they were "getting very close to" developing a sixth instalment. "We have a very good script. We developed two of them — the one with Margot Robbie and one with a younger cast," he continued. "The Margot Robbie one needs a little more work. The younger cast one is close. Hopefully, we'll get both of them."
