'Pirates' Stars Scorched Private Parts

'Pirates of the Caribbean' star Mackenzie Crook has revealed the all-star cast and crew had to remember to put on underwear everyday - to stop their genitals from being sunburned.

The British actor - who plays pirate Ragetti in the swashbuckling sequel 'Dead Man's Chest' - has revealed some of the crew were left with scorched private parts after deciding to go "commando" under their shorts to keep cool.



Crook, who starred alongside Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley in the movie, said: "Some of the first crew members to arrive on the island were going commando and the sun's glare off the blinding white sand burned their privates."

Sunburn wasn't the only peril facing the cast and crew as they filmed the blockbuster in the Bahamas.

Crook also revealed they came face-to-face with huge sharks on several occasions.

He added to Britain's The Guardian newspaper: "We'd be in a rowing boat for about four hours and the find a 6ft shark taking an interest, causing the crew to run."



David Beckham

The Sunday Mirror this year quoted an unnamed source, in an "exclusive," saying Beckham buys 60 pairs of designer underwear a month at a cost of $1,800.
