Tim Burton’s film Edward Scissorhands was undoubtedly Johnny Depp’s entry into the world of big cinema. And also a monument to the memory of their relationship with Winona Ryder, the tattoo of which the actor has not removed from his body for thirty years.
It would seem, who else, except the shocking and extravagant Depp, could play this timid young man with the talent of a hairdresser and scissors instead of hands? It turns out that Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise is just one step away from this role.
“He was really close to playing Edward Scissorhands. But this character got to the very core of who I am. The fact that it was me affected me emotionally. That’s exactly what I needed to do,” Depp, 61, shared in Tara Wood’s documentary.
However, the actor almost gave up on his dream after learning that a whole galaxy of stars were competing for the role in Burton’s project. Among them were Tom Hanks and even Michael Jackson. Burton’s manager managed to persuade the young artist, who literally insisted that he come to the audition.
