JOHNNY DEPP GOES MAD (HATTER) ON THE COVER OF THIS WEEK’S ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY CELEBRATES ITS 20TH BIRTHDAY WITH A LOOK BACK AT 20 YEARS OF OSCAR
NEW YORK – From the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland to Edward Scissorhands – Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton take a look back at 20 years of collaboration, friendship, and seriously kooky characters. They met twenty years ago as a frustrated young TV star and a wild-haired filmmaker, and since then the duo has worked on quite a few projects together. When they first met to talk about Edward Scissorhands, they both recall caffeine. “All I remember is coffee – a lot of coffee,” says Burton. “In fact, I think I’m still coming down the walls from that. I’d never seen [Depp’s cop show] 21 Jump Street, but meeting Johnny, I could sense that this thing was probably not why he got into acting or where he wanted to go. My impression was that he had something inside of him, but because of the show he was on, people thought of him in a certain way that wasn’t accurate. There’s a painful quality when you grow up and you’re not perceived correctly – and that’s what the character of Edward Scissorhands was about. It was an instinctual thing, but I could see that Johnny was that character.”
