The American actor has showered praise on filmmaker Tim Burton for keeping his faith in him and is grateful to the director for making him into a successful star. He added that Burton is a great friend and has been a fantastic director over the past.
Depp claimed that Burton has been vital in his success in the industry and admitted that he owes a lot to the director. The actor added that he would not have been the star he is had he not met Tim Burton.
“Tim’s a great friend and a brilliant director. If it hadn’t been for Tim, I would probably be a minor actor working in horror B-movies,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
‘The Pirates of the Carribean’ actor insisted that Burton was keen on giving him the role in the movie ‘Edward Scissorhands’ which made his career. He admitted that he has great respect for the director as he has helped him in the most difficult of times.
“Tim had to fight to give me the lead role in Edward Scissorhands in 1990 when I was still unknown, and he’s always stood by me even when things weren’t going well later in my career,” he continued.
Depp, who will next be seen in Burton’s ‘Dark Shadows’, added that he would do any movie for the director as he has complete trust in him.
“I would play any role in any film that he asked me to do purely out of gratitude. I love him like a brother,” he concluded.
‘Dark Shadows’ is set to release worldwide on May 11.
