Johnny Depp is the world’s greatest oddball, according to director Tim Burton.

The Pirates of The Carribean star is currently working on the eccentric movie-maker’s current flick Alice in Wonderland – in which he plays the Mad Hatter.

And Burton insists no one plays crazy like Depp.

He says, “Nobody plays oddballs better than Johnny and he’s loving playing this one.

“He doesn’t like to be the same way twice. That’s good. It always keeps it fresh and all. He likes the material we have here and he gets it.

“It’s nice to have people involved that are fans of the material.

“He actually ate his hat the other day. No word of a lie. He just bit into the brim and chewed.”
