The controversial Russell Brand may be hitting the high seas in a blockbuster franchise. According to
The Daily Mail, Brand is close to inking a deal to appear in
Pirates of the Caribbean 4.
The site reveals that Brand is close to signing a deal to portray Jonathan Sparrow, brother of Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow. The deal is said to be upwards of 5 million pounds (almost $8 million US).
"There couldn't be a role more perfectly suited," said an unnamed source. "There's a lot of Jack Sparrow in his mannerisms and behaviour. Depp's accent isn't a million miles away from Russell's either."
Brand has recently been embroiled in controversy when he quit his popular BBC Radio show after a prank call where Brand and his co-host, Jonathan Ross, claimed Brand slept with German actor Andrew Sachs' granddaughter.

They don't give a flying fuck, so long as they pull down a huge profit, they'll all be mega-fucking rich, regardless of how well the Dark Knight did by comparison.
Oh, and this dude definitely looks the part.
He's definitely a Sparrow type. Not quite like Jack, nobody could be but definitely in the same family.
