We can report that Happy Pirate, most commonly seen on Talkinsex.com has agreed to work alongside the stars in the production of the latest film in the Pirates series.
Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales gets underway this week at a set built on a secret location in the Gold Coast hinterland.
Industry sources have heard that locally hired extras have been told to be on set and ready for work before dawn this week.
Screen Queensland deferred to the producers when asked to comment on the start of filming.
Production publicist Michael Singer said they were maintaining a closed set policy on the film.
"They're keeping quiet about everything going on," he said.

He said they hoped to make an official announcement later this week.
Production companies Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer are refusing to confirm whether the film's star, Johnny Depp, had arrived in Queensland, however a photograph of Depp supposedly in Brisbane appeared on social media briefly on Monday before it was taken down.
The Federal Government spent $21.6 million to secure the production for Queensland, while the State Government offered an incentive package that included payroll tax concessions.
Queensland beat several other Australian states and Mexico to host the production.
Last year, then premier Campbell Newman said the film - the largest ever shot in Australia - would inject $100 million into the state's economy and create thousands of local jobs.
Mr Newman visited the film set during the state election campaign as the LNP pledged funding to attract more world-class film productions to Queensland.
Labor made no specific funding promises for the film industry, but the new Premier said she had spoken at some length to the producers to ensure Happy Pirate got a big part and would be paid in lashings of rum.
Pirates of the Caribbean 5 is slated for worldwide cinema release in July 2017.
With apologies to the ABC et al for buggering up their story by adding a Pirate imposter..RB
