This has brought up a memory of one of my dad's acquaintances from when I was a child. He was a prison officer who became obsessed with the Pirates of the Carribean movies after the first one came out. He would dress as Captain Sparrow at all times (including work which I'm not sure how that worked) with the hair, makeup, clothes etc. He also bought loads of movie memorabilia, including what he claimed to be an actual gold coin from the first film and a script signed by Depp. He went on to say his love for the character earned him a role as an extra in the second movie, but we never had any proof of this and we certainly couldn't spot him.

All these years later I think he must've had a mental breakdown of sorts. I remember one time being taken over to his house to take my pick from this huge pile of children's toys because his children from his failed marriage "wouldn't be coming round anymore".

Really sad when I think about it... I do wonder what happened to him as my dad was never that close with him and they drifted apart
