History Fact
Lord Byron kept a bear in his college dorm.
The famous Romantic-period poet was peeved when he found out that Trinity College, Cambridge, didn’t allow dogs on campus.
So, to rebel against the man’s draconian rules he decided to bring a tame bear with him to campus.
Whilst the college’s authorities tried to protest, he won his case as the rules didn’t explicitly state you couldn’t bring a bear to campus.
To parade his victory and gloat to the powers that be, Byron often took his bear for walks around campus on a lead!

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
The film was being produced as Johnny Depp was going through a bitter divorce from his wife Amber Heard.

It got to the point where a production assistant was hired just to wait outside Depp's house and announce that he was awake when they saw the lights inside come on.
