London, July 16 (IANS) Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp has his eye on a gender-bending movie role, as he is keen on portraying singer-actress Carol Channing in a biopic.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor has regularly donned a series of bizarre outfits for his films like “Edward Scissorhands” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, and even dressed up as a woman for his part in 1994 comedy “Ed Wood”.
He is determined now to go even further with a future role by playing 88-year-old Channing, reports express.co.uk.
“My dream role would be to play musical legend Carol Channing in a biopic of her life. I love her, I really do, she’s amazing… With all the digital technology these days, I could probably pull it off,” he said.
