Pirates of the Caribbean's Mr Gibbs Kevin McNally praises Johnny Depp as ‘beautiful human’

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN's Mr Gibbs actor Kevin McNally has praised Jack Sparrow actor Johnny Depp and his character as a person.

Some of Johnny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean co-stars have been coming to his defence since he lost his libel case, in which he strongly denied allegations of domestic abuse. Greg Ellis – who played Lieutenant Commander Theodore Groves across three Pirates movies – has vocally supported the 57-year-old and his character. And now Captain Jack Sparrow’s sidekick Mr Gibbs star Kevin McNally has rallied around Depp too.

McNally, who played Joshamee Gibbs in all five Pirates of the Caribbean movies alongside Depp, appeared on Ellis’ video podcast The Respondent this week.

The full two-hour interview is released at 9pm GMT on Sunday, but in the meantime, a clip of McNally voicing his support for his Jack Sparrow co-star has been shared.

In the video, McNally said: “Who knows what goes on behind closed doors.

“But I have never in 22 years of working with Johnny Depp seen anything that would indicate to me he is anything other than a beautiful human being.”

McNally went on to comment on cancel culture and pointed out that Depp’s trial was a libel case and not a criminal conviction.

However, since the Jack Sparrow star lost, Warner Bros asked the 57-year-old to resign from playing Gellert Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts movies, which he agreed to.

Depp had only shot one scene for Fantastic Beasts, but will still receive his full salary of $16 million thanks to his contract.

Warner Bros have since hired James Bond villain and Rogue One star Mads Mikkelsen to play Grindelwald instead.

Earlier this month, Ellis appeared in a YouTube conversation with Stevie J Raw in which he recounted shooting Pirates with Depp in Hawaii.

The actors had had a tent set up for them to protect them from the sun so their level of tan would be consistent across different scenes in the movie.

The 52-year-old remembered how Depp went out of his way to show kindness to his co-star.

The Groves actor said: “He was professional, friendly.”
