Gervais rejected Pirates
Ricky Gervais turned down roles in The Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Da Vinci Code, the new Star Trek movie and the remake of Dudley Moore's Arthur.
He told Entertainment Weekly he could have played Johnny Depp's sidekick in huge hit Pirates.
But he added: "I didn't want to sit in a Winnebago for six months waiting to show up as a comedy pirate for two minutes."
