Depp branded a cannibal



New York, July 3 (IANS) Actor Johnny Depp has been branded a 'cannibal' by tribesmen on the Dominica island, where he is filming the third part of the 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' movie.

According to hollywood.com, members of the Garifuna tribe are threatening to boycott future sequels of the movie because of a scene in which Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow, is shown munching on a severed toe.

Depp says: 'People were like, 'You can't do that in the movie.' But it's played for laughs and gets them. The last thing we want to do is offend anyone. But it's fantasy and I think people realise that.'

The tribe members are also furious with a scene in which Depp's character is being roasted alive.

Chief Charles Williams says: 'The film's depiction of our natives as flesh-craving savages is grossly untrue and very politically incorrect. Of course, there was violence and bloodshed in the past. But to stigmatise us today is very wrong. We will continue our fight when Hollywood returns.'
