Series 18, Episode 7 - Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sade
Further details
Hollywood star Johnny Depp and Andrew Lloyd Webber join Jonathan Ross for this week's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on BBC One.
Johnny Depp says that before the Pirates Of The Caribbean films he wasn't a popular choice for leading man: "They used to call me box office poison."
He says he threatened to leave the first Pirates film: "I made choices for the character I believed in. [I said] this is the guy. If you don't like him you're welcome to fire me."
And he refuses to star in a rom-com film: "I've been asked a couple of times but I just couldn't do it, no way, I'd be a wreck."
Johnny Depp says he has never seen himself in a Tim Burton movie but wants to see the latest, Alice In Wonderland: "I prefer to walk away with the experience."
And he hated his teen idol image: "It was pretty weird... I was misrepresented."
He also says he is collaborating with Keith Richards on a new movie and confirms a fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean.
Andrew Lloyd Webber says he has beaten cancer: "If they hadn't found the infection they wouldn't have found the cancer - and luckily I'm in the clear... I'm back."
He denies he's finished with musicals: "I'm writing six new songs for The Wizard Of Oz."
Notes
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sierra Bogges and Louise Hunt performed Love Never Dies.
