The word is out… I am the young Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Collaborating with Johnny Depp in creating this character was one of the most thrilling experiences of my life.

The movie, upon release, received negative reviews from the critics but managed to gross over $794.8 million at the box office. The plot of the movie, in addition to the overabundance of characters, resulted in a negative response. Some critics, however, appreciated Johnny Depp’s performance in the movie.

The actor shared a picture of him in the Jack Sparrow outfit on his social media in 2018 recalling his time on Dead Men Tell No Tales and working with Depp. He also mentioned in the post that he’d like to play Jim Carrey in the future.

He’s my person. He’s that warrior who’s been with me every step of the way over the past six years of my world-changing. I just always want to be by his side, and he’s been the most supportive person in my career. He’s my warrior rock. Times where I just feel like I can’t do anything or I’m deeply exhausted—he’s always been there.

Their intimate wedding took place on the top of the Malibu mountains at Serra Franciscan Retreat Center because they wanted the ceremony to feel ‘timeless, whimsical, and natural. Condor and De La Torre’s wedding was also a special tribute to the actress’ mother, Mary, who passed away recently, as she shared with Vogue.

My mother had wanted to spend some special one-on-one time together and had heard about Serra Retreat and the amazing work they do there. My mother, Mary, recently passed away, leaving my entire family devastated. But she would not have wanted us to not celebrate our love.

Condor added that they wanted to get married at the retreat because being there was such a core memory that she shared with her mother and felt that she’d feel her presence just by being there. The couple ended up getting their wedding dates inked on their arms.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!
