Johnny Depp has revealed he is scared of KARAOKE.
The actor – who sings in new movie musical Sweeney Todd – said he has never tried the bar pastime. And he admitted he would need to be seriously drunk before having a go.
Asked what his favorite karaoke song is, Depp replied: “Honestly, I’ve always been frightened of it.
“I’ve never tried it. It scares the hell out of me.
“I’ve never been that drunk. I’ve been drunk – but not that drunk.”
Depp plays the Demon Barber of Fleet Street in the upcoming Tim Burton Hollywood film.
But he said he was terrified when he won the part – because he hadn’t sung before. Depp, 44, added: “I was probably more frightened than anyone.
“I’d never sung before in my life.
“So I thought it was important that I keep it very low-key.
“Initially I did demos in my friend’s garage studio because I didn’t know if I’d be able to hit a note.
“I sent it to Tim [director Tim Burton], crossed my fingers and waited for the outcome.”
He told a US magazine: “I really went through some angst.”
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street will be released in the US on December 21 and in the UK on January 25.
