Jack Sparrow

Jack Sparrow is a fictional pirate captain from the *Pirates of the Caribbean* film franchise, known for his eccentric manner, slurred speech, and improbable escapes.

The character has become a cultural touchstone for theatrical roguishness: He stumbled in like Jack Sparrow after a long night.

The name often appears in discussions of antiheroes or when someone affects a drunken swagger.
