Washington, Feb 23 (ANI): Johnny Depp likes to do the “funderwhack” happy dance from his forthcoming film ‘Alice in Wonderland’ in private, according to director Tim Burton.

The helmer suggested that the actor, who plays the Mad Hatter, generally refrains from doing it.

“He’s injured himself. He cannot do it today. You wouldn’t question Fred Astaire like this, he [Depp] likes to keep his fuderwhacking private, as we all do,” Fox News quoted him as saying.

Meanwhile, Depp revealed that Burton had his own vision of happy dance.

He said: “The happy dance was something that Tim had a very curious vision for. But, I can fuderwhack with the best of them. We had to treat that like a stunt.”

The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star said that if Burton had asked him he would have even played the role of Alice in the flick.

He said: “He could have said I was playing Alice and I would have said yes. I would have done whatever character Tim wanted, certainly the Mad Hatter was a bonus and great challenge.”

The film is set to hit screens soon. (ANI)
