✗ The myth everyone repeats
Johnny Depp's friends call him 'Pirates' as a nickname.
✓ What is actually true
While Johnny Depp has been associated with pirate roles and pirate-themed projects, there is limited evidence that 'Pirates' is his actual nickname used by friends. Depp has many known nicknames and has been called various things by associates. This claim appears to be an exaggeration or misremembering of his pirate-related fame.
