Bonham Carter: ‘I’m Depp’s Twin’

Actress HELENA BONHAM CARTER is convinced moviemaker TIM BURTON finds her
attractive because she is the female double of his longtime pal and
collaborator JOHNNY DEPP.

The Brit, who is expecting a second child with Burton, insists she and Depp,
who co-star in the director’s new Sweeney Todd musical, share looks and
character traits.

She explains, “We have the same frown line and there’s certain similarities
between the two of us, according to Tim – we always like to camouflage
ourselves to the hilt when it comes to playing parts and we both loathe
watching ourselves.

“And we’re both pale and tubercular and have big eyes. Tim’s always said we
would be great in a silent movie. I think he definitely thinks I should’ve been
in a silent movie because I talk too much.”
