Danish’s actor in the film franchise took over Johnny Depp after he was asked down to come from the Pirates Of The Caribbean after The Sun publisher published a story that points him as a “wife beater”.

Mads Mikkelsen told AP Entertainment: “I’ve met him (Depp) once.”

“I wish I had his phone number, but unfortunately that’s not the case,” he continued.

“There’s nothing else I can do, to be honest.”

“The only approach I can have is connect the bridge between what he did and what I’m gonna do and then we’ll see what lands.” He remarked: “There has to be a bridge between what Johnny did and what I’m going to do. And at the same time, I also have to make it my own.”
