'Pirates Of The Caribbean' star Johnny Depp has revealed that director Tim Burton used to torment him by dragging him through mud and horse manure. Depp - who recently worked with Burton on the new Sweeney Todd film, says his worst ever movie experience came when the pair were working on the 1999 film 'Sleepy Hollow' and Tim forced him to hold on to a carriage while horses hauled him through stinking waste.
Johnny, 44, recalled: "One morning when we were filming 'Sleepy Hollow', Tim called me to the set, pointed to two large horses strapped to a carriage and said, 'This is what we are going to be doing today.' I was to hold on to the carriage behind the horses, being dragged along through the muck.
"The horses must have fed on curry. I've never smelt anything like that."
Johnny, who says the foul stunt has put him off working with horses for life, faced another challenge when he was reunited with Tim for the filming of Sweeney Todd.
The Hollywood star recently revealed he was terrified of singing in the movie and had to take singing lessons from his singer girlfriend Vanessa Paradis.
Johnny said: "I knew I wasn't tone deaf but I didn't know if I'd really be able to hold the notes or belt out a tune."
Tim insists Johnny "exceeded all expectations" with his vocal performance as the murderous London barber.
He said: "I always had every confidence in him and he needn't have worried at all.
"His performance was wonderful and exceeded all of my expectations. He is a great actor."
