Go overboard?

The cameo was originally meant for Rolling Stone Keith Richards, who has played the father of Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow in the franchise. But Richards wasn't able to make the Dead Men gig (they're calling it scheduling difficulties). So Depp personally recruited McCartney for the role over text message.

It was Depp’s idea to have McCartney play Jack Sparrow’s uncle, also named Jack, who cheerily meets his nephew in a jail cell before Sparrow is to be put to death.

Depp provided McCartney’s nonsense joke for the scene about a skeleton ordering a beer and a mop in a bar — a joke Depp learned from legendary actor Al Pacino.

McCartney suggested singing the Beatles song Maggie Mae for the scene.

“It’s an old sailor Liverpool song. But it’s also a Beatles tune,” Rønning says. That song not only provided some Beatles magic in the movie, but also helped to point out this is Paul McCartney. Really.

“And we still meet people that don’t see that he’s in the movie,” says Rønning.

“Even though he sings,” says Sandberg.
