Johnny Depp’s remarkable performance as Captain Jack Sparrow is largely regarded to be a major contributor to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise’s popularity. Despite his great career, Depp is most known for this role. However, his life has not always been easy, particularly since his latest court struggle with ex-wife Amber Heard. Accused of domestic violence, Depp suffered the consequences as major brands and studios broke connections with him.

After a publicized legal battle that improved public opinion, Depp is back in show business but has chosen to work for a competitor.
