Robert As A Pirate!

From bloodsucker to swashbuckler?

Word on the high seas is that Captain Jack Sparrow will be adventuring with a little bro in Pirates of the Caribbean 4 — and that Disney is looking to cast none other than Robert Pattinson in the role.

Shiver me timbers! (That means “OMG” in pirate-speak…we think.)

In addition to the vampire hottie, HSM star Zac Efron is said to be in the running for the role as little Jack. Same with Brit comedian Russell Brand — but his chances may have walked the plank when he made fun of the JoBros this summer at the MTV VMAs.

We think Robert would make a totally awesome pirate, and here are just a few reasons why:

1. Never washes his hair.
2. Would look totally fabulous in eyeliner
3. His name begins with an "Arrrrr"
4. Don't all pirates have British accents?
5. We'd love to see his booty.
