Johnny Depp has admitted that he worries about letting down Tim Burton when the pair work together.
The pair are working together for the seventh time as Alice In Wonderland hits screens this week, with Depp taking on the role of the Mad Hatter.
Speaking to Teen Hollywood the actor said: "Yeah, each time out of the gate with Tim the initial thing for me is to obviously come up with a character, but then you start thinking that there's a certain amount of pressure where you go, 'Jesus, will this be the one where I disappoint him?'
"I try really hard, especially early on, to just come up with something that's very different that he hasn't experienced before, that we haven't experienced together before and that I think will stimulate him and inspire him to make choices based on that character.
"So I basically try not to embarrass him."
Alice In Wonderland is the first collaboration for the pair since Sweeney Todd, a role that brought Depp another Best Actor Oscar nomination.
Sweeney Todd was also the last time that we saw Burton in the director's chair, he did produce animation movie 9 last year.
Alice In Wonderland is released 5th March.
