Johnny Depp has committed to playing a female stripper in a new movie for director Tim Burton reports Movietab. Depp will play legendary entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee and wasn't phased by the prospect of having to crossdress for the role.
"The other day I said to Tim that I would shoot anything with him. And he said: 'Well, next I'm going to do the Gypsy Rose Lee story," explained Depp. Depp apparently asked for the title role and Burton quickly agreed he could have it.
The Gypsy Rose Lee Story will see Depp and Burton reunited yet again after their collaborations on the likes of "Edward Scissorhands", "Sleepy Hollow", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "The Corpse Bride".
Thanks to 'Devon'.
