Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton have enjoyed a long and successful partnership over the years, dating all the way back to 1990's Edward Scissorhands. Their latest collaboration, Sweeney Todd, arrived in theaters on Friday, accompanied by a slew of rave reviews.
I understand why Burton would want to work with such a talented and versatile actor as Depp, but why does he insist on having Johnny wear Kabuki makeup in all of their films? Check out the evidence and see for yourself:
Sweeney Todd (2007)
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Ed Wood (1994)
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Kabuki (c. 16th Century)
