Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom have let slip that Rolling Stone Keith Richards is definitely to appear in the third Pirates of the Caribbean film.
They revealed the rocker would play a cameo role as the father of Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp.

Some observers have drawn comparisons between Depp's performance as the pirate and the 62-year-old guitarist.

Bloom, who admitted he was a fan of the Rolling Stones, said: "I can't wait to see him."

"Well - if he doesn't kill himself falling out of coconut trees. Very rock and roll."

Richards underwent brain surgery in May after reportedly falling out of a tree in Fiji.


It has long been rumoured that the musician was to have a cameo appearance as Depp's father.

Knightley and Bloom, who were speaking at a press conference to promote the second Pirates film, Dead Man's Chest, revealed that Knightley will appear in some scenes with Richards.

[Mr. Man]

Johhny Depp said he modeled his character after Keith Richards. Then Keith was asked to be in one of the two sequels. It's old news. At least to me. Should be interesting. If he doesn't fall out of another tree on some island. He looked pretty good at the Fresno show last November. Almost like a living ghost!

It was a great movie. I don't care what the critics say.
