10 Disturbing Movie Moments You Never Noticed

10. Jack Sparrow Has Syphilis - Pirates Of The Caribbean

It's obvious that Johnny Depp brought much of his own creative spirit to Pirates of the Caribbean's Jack Sparrow, modelling him after The Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards and even insisting upon a curious visual detail you've likely never noticed.

Throughout the franchise, check out Sparrow's face during any close-up shots and you'll spot a peculiar red mark on the right-hand side of said mug.

While at first glance you might assume it to be a mere scuff or graze from his hard-going adventuring, it's actually a detail that Depp and the film's make-up crew agreed upon to subtly suggest that Jack was suffering from syphilis, with a facial rash being one of the STD's primary symptoms.

Given that Sparrow isn't exactly shown to be a stickler for hygiene and certainly has a healthy appetite for the ladies, it's nothing if not on-brand for the character, if also something quite gnarly to sneak into a swashbuckling Disney adventure film aimed at family audiences.
