Paul McCartney has shared the first snap of him in his new role for Pirate Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

The Batman resumes filming after being shut down due to Robert Pattinson's coronavirus

Yo-ho, Yo-ho, a pirates life for Paul!

At first we were blessed with Johnny Depp in pirate gear as he took on the role of Captain Jack Sparrow, then we met Sparrow’s father, Captain Teague played by non other than Rolling Stones man, Keith Richards – and now we have another rock star taking on the seven seas.

Beatles star Paul McCartney took to Twitter on Saturday night to share the first glimpse of him as a full-blown pirate.


Okay, we’re impressed.



Other than his (awesome) use of hashtag in the caption, the 74-year-old hasn’t shared any more info about his role.

However, on his IMDB page he is listed as Jail Guard 2 in the latest high seas saga.

With the heavy eyeliner, skull hair trinkets and stern expression, it’s easy to picture him keeping unwashed criminals locked up, with no want to hold their hand.

It was confirmed in March 2016 that Paul would be filming a cameo for the new Disney movie.

Deadline reported at the time that McCartney’s scene took place after production had finished, to add him and ‘an extra big set-piece’ into the film.

Although this will be McCartney’s first film role, it isn’t his first film project.

He was nominated for not one, not two, but three Academy Awards in the seventies, and was awarded with one alongside his Beatles bandmates for the movie Let It Be.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is out May 26.
