'Caribbean' cast bond during long shoot

The Pirates Of The Caribbean stars have become mates thanks to spending so much time together on location, says Mackenzie Crook.

Two sequels to the movie are being filmed in one go, so actors including Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley have been together on a Caribbean island for quite a while.

"It's been an incredible and intense period of work," Office star Crook told The Sun. "It took so much longer than anyone could've expected."

"We had no choice but to become good mates. When we're on location we're all living in each other's pockets," said the actor, who plays Raggetti in the films. "But we got to spend pretty much a year on a Caribbean island shooting them, so we've had an amazing time."

He told fans to expect more of his well-loved pirate antics, saying: "I'm still the same old Raggeti that you know and love. I don't run away with the heroine or anything, there's no romance for me."

"But there's lots more eyeball gags," he added. "I've even got my own action figure now, it's what I've been working towards. I can die a happy man."

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is due in cinemas on July 7.
