Two characters from different hit Disney movies were seen in a backstage bromantic hug. They are Hans Solo, portrayed by Harrison Ford, of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, of "Pirates of the Caribbean."
However, beside the hug, what caught the attention of USA Today was the photobomber, "Pirates of the Caribbean" producer Jerry Bruckheimer who looked jealous of the hug.
The second photo taken from the opposite side shows Depp holding a bunch of grapes that he appeared to be rubbing on Ford's yellow shirt. Depp was late seen tossing grapes at the D23 audience while dressed as Captain Sparrow.
In the D23, Disney World CEO Robert Iger announced the addition of two "Star Wars" theme parks in California and Florida and three "Star Wars" movies, including "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" scheduled to run in theaters in December 2015.
Another upcoming movie is Depp's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," which will be shown beginning July 7, 2017. Depp was in D23 in Anaheim, California, to promote that film, likely to join Disney's growing list of blockbuster movies.
Besides the photo with Ford, Depp joined Sean Bailey, president of production of Walt Disney Pictures, who told Captain Sparrow that he was in Disneyland. After the captain replies "Never heard of it," he started tossing grapes to the audience, mimicking what Pixar boss John Lasseter did in the Friday presentation when Lasseter threw shirts to the audience.
While Sparrow was giving away the purple fruit, he was muttering, "Grape! Grape! It bounced, don't pick it up. I hate grapes. I despise the rotten little things," quotes Variety.
"Dead Men Tell No Tales" is the fifth movie in the franchise. Besides Depp, the film features Orlando Bloom as Will Turner, Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbosa and newcomers Javier Bardem, Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario.
