"I still know that I can't sing," Johnny Depp tells Sky News

Despite winning the Golden Globe as Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his performance in SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET, Johnny Depp remains disarmingly modest about his vocal talents. “I still know that I can’t sing,” Depp declares in a brief video interview with Sky News. “The biggest risk was Tim [director Tim Burton] taking the risk on asking me if I could sing . . . if I could play the role. So I wanted to be sure, so that’s why I went kind of off on my own and did a little demo,” Johnny explains. He sent the demo to Tim Burton, and was soon singing his lungs out on the set at Pinewood. “It was the first time I ever sang in my life,” Johnny confides. “Maybe the only time.”

The Sky News video blends Johnny’s comments with bits of his versions of “Epiphany” and “My Friends,” which quite effectively undercuts his claim that he “can’t sing.” To see the Sky News video, click here: http://tinyurl.com/yo4o8m The Zone thanks Emma for sharing the clip. –Part-Time Poet
