Johnny Depp could be delighting fans the world over by donning a pair of tight-fitting ballet tights for his next movie.

Director Tim Burton, who has worked with Depp on numerous films including his latest 'Sweeney Todd', has asked Johnny to take the lead in his dance-led next project.

Burton, who saw Johnny rise to the challenge of bursting into song in Sweeney Todd, says, "Singing could be his limit. Dancing I'm not sure about. I've asked him to do a ballet next and he's not sure about that one."
