"I am such a huge fan"–Anne Hathaway talks about Johnny Depp and ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Anne Hathaway may play a queen in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (she is the White Queen to Helena Bonham Carter’s Red Queen), but she felt anything but majestic when she was shooting scenes with co-star Johnny Depp, who plays the Mad Hatter. “I have a couple scenes with Johnny Depp,” Hathaway told Brian Jacks of mtv.com. “I wish I could be so cool about it and say, like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s just Johnny.’ But I am such a huge fan, I felt really embarrassed. He would catch me staring at him,” she confessed, “and I would have to look up, but we were shooting on green screens so there was nothing to look at. I’d be like, ‘Oh, look, a bit more green wall. Did you notice that? No? Good.’ “

As for her character, Hathaway describes the White Queen this way: “A friend of mine just gave me a magnet that was a bunny rabbit holding a knife . [. . .] It said ‘Cute but psycho, it evens out.’ And that’s kind of my character as the White Queen.”
