Do you believe that a then 46 year old (45 when filming OST) Depp was playing a 60+ year old Sparrow? Because I don’t. I know there is no official document stating that Jack Sparrow was born in the 1690’s, so this is how I interpret the PotC timeline: Jack is born in early 1700 in the middle of a typhoon. In 1716, at age 16, Jack makes the bootleg turn that kills Salazar. In 1718, at age 18, he becomes captain of the Black Pearl. In 1720, at age 20, he is marooned and Barbossa becomes captain. We know that he only spent three days on the island, so he would still get off in 1720. I think that it is unknown what he did from 1720-1728 (age 20-28), although The Price of Freedom follows a 25 year old Sparrow (1725). Then CotBP happened in 1728, making Jack 28, Will 18 (I think born in 1710), Elizabeth 17 (I think born in 1711), and Barbossa 54 (I think being born in 1674). Then in DMC (1729), when Jack is eaten by the kraken, he was 29 years old. Because AWE takes place in the same year, Jack would still be 29. Then, the franchise skips 21 years, having OST in 1750, making Jack’s 50, and DMTNT in 1751, making Jack 51, Will 41, Elizabeth 40, and Barbossa 77. Just my interpretation.
