Johnny Depp displays his barbering skills on UK's "This Morning"

Viewers of the UK’s “This Morning” program got a delightful surprise on January 18th when Steve Wilson aired his eight-minute feature on SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET. Wilson intercuts numerous film clips with interviews with the SWEENEY cast, and asks some original questions. For example, he asks director Tim Burton if it was “weird” seeing Helena Bonham Carter “on screen in love with one of your best mates?” Grinning broadly, Burton (with Johnny chuckling next to him) replies, “No . . . because I knew what was going to happen to her at the end, so I felt very confident their relationship wouldn’t last.”

Don’t miss the game of “Guess the Goatee” or the moment when Steve Wilson hands Johnny Depp a razor and dares the screen’s most notorious singing barber to give him a Mohawk. “Just don’t put it anywhere near my throat,” the interviewer adds prudently. Johnny obliges, as you can see in our photo. To see a larger version of that screencap, click here: http://tinyurl.com/ypp4ry Thanks to Lu for sharing her screencaps with us! In this case, a picture is definitely worth a thousand words. –Part-Time Poet
