At the "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" premiere, the Aerosmith frontman and Jack Sparrow told Extra about their friendship and the idea that Depp would make a good on-screen Tyler.
As for writing songs together, Tyler said, "What else am I gonna do in L.A. in my downtime from 'Idol'?"
"We've been hanging out here and there and he's someone I've admired so greatly for such a long time, the idea of writing songs with him is a dream come true," Depp told Extra.
"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" opens nationwide May 20.
