OK I'll give you that one B.S..........I'll admit that I dont often read Johny Depp interviews about his roles in Pirates of the Penzance.........its not something that I take an interest in.(I didnt even see the film)
So if Depp admits that he adopted Keith Richards personae for a role , he must have been legally entitled to do so , otherwise he wouldn't have admitted it..........which kind of leaves your Vanian suing Depp idea to be obsolete .
If Richards cant sue Depp for adopting his whole personae , how can Vanian sue Depp for looking a bit like him?
