I wonder if Johnny Depp's partner Vannessa Paradis, had any say in this? The goss just last week was that Depp, who is currently working on,"TheTourist" with Angelina Jolie (described as 'eating' her male co-stars for lunch) is trying to get out of a steamy love scene with Jolie if not the entire film--at Paradis's behest. I applaud her if she's got that much sway with JD.There's no doubt that Depp has that much pull with Disney. He cemented that with his appearance three times on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. That and all the moola that the Pirates film franchise is pulling in almost completely due to Depp's performance as pirate Jack Sparrow, a character who he based in large part on Rolling Stone, Keith Richards.
Report: Disney Bans Fake Breasts in Next Pirates Movie
Disney may be going au naturale for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
The movie studio has banned actresses with artificial enhancements for the fourth Pirates installment, the New York Post reports.
Filmmakers sent out a casting call last week, according to the paper, seeking "beautiful female fit models. Must be 5 feet 7 inches-5 feet 8 inches, size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants." The potential ladies will also have to undergo a test involving jiggling and jogging to determine their breasts' authenticity, the Post says.
The movie, which is set for a May 2011 release, will star Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, Ian McShane as Blackbeard, and Penelope Cruz as Sparrow's love interest, replacing Keira Knightley as the female lead.
Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis
Now if Disney (or Vanessa) could have a word about this requirement of the 'Pirates' 4 film:
Must be 5 feet 7 inches-5 feet 8 inches, size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller.
The 'no smaller' part is OK but no bigger than a size 4 or 6? So a size 7/8 on a 5'8" woman is considered too big? Has Disney taken a look recently at the animatronic ladies that Johnny is cavorting with in Disneyland? (j/k He doesn't cavort--only hides--then gleefully sits upon a huge pile of gold coins.)
I realize I'm being unrealistic in pointing this out but Disney started it when it took a stand on ladies with fake boobies.Why not go a step further and bump up the range of sizes a bit?
