How could anyone replace JD, this would be like replacing Clark Gable in Gone with the Wind or Al Pacino in the Godfather, In life there are some things we just can't do. Like robbing a bank, surprise your going to jail, or drinking a bottle of Patron, yes your head will hurt tomorrow. In this instance someone jumped the gun, before all the facts were laid into place. How must he have felt... How would you feel, the whole world questioning his character, his integrity. Not only his personal life is crumbling, then the cornerstone of his professional life is pulled from beneath him. That was not a well thought out move . America knew he would not be guilty of these charges , it's too bad his contract writers didn't feel the same. Johnny Depp is a household name , Like Budweiser, or Energizer. Everyone knows him, Everyone Loves him, Disney if you want to continue the Pirates franchise and make money doing it , You already know the answer... JD is Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny if your reading I wish you, many more amazing years doing what we, your fans have come to love and respect... MUAAH!!
