Depp: I cringe when I'm on screen

Johnny Depp has revealed he cringes every time he watches himself on

screen and hasn't even seen his latest movie yet.

Talking ahead of the UK release of musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon

Barber of Fleet Street, the actor said he had yet to see the finished

version.

"Just thinking that I'm in it, I cringe. I feel uncomfortable watching

myself.

"I love the experience, I love the whole creative process and

partnership.

"But actually seeing the finished product if I'm in it, that's always

a problem for me."

It's the sixth time Depp has worked with director Tim Burton, who had

wanted to make a film version of the musical ever since seeing it as a

student.

The musical has taken $48m (�24.6m) in the US and won a Golden Globe

for best musical or comedy.

Depp's performance also earned him a gong for best actor in the same

category.

Musical double-act?

Not the most obvious musical star, the modest actor said he had not

even taken singing lessons for the role.

"I probably should have, but I didn't.

"I just figured that the best way to learn how to sing as the

character was to learn the character and let the tone or whatever

happens follow... the warbling!"

Depp and Burton's previous collaborations include Edward Scissorhands

and blockbuster Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

But will the pair be teaming up to make any more musicals soon?

Well, you never know. Depp said the two had been discussing Cats and

Burton thinks the actor would make "an amazing Joseph".
