Johnny Depp’s couch-sitting for Glaswegian voice in Alice

Johnny Depps couch sitting for Glaswegian voice in Alice

Johnny Depp settled in for some serious couch-sitting when he spent countless hours watching a Scottish sitcom to "grow" a Glaswegian voice for his role as The Mad Hatter in Alice In Wonderland.
Depp watched Rab C. Nesbitt and worked with voice coach Gerry Grennell to perfect the accent. Grennell, who Depp used in From Hell (2001), said: "He listened to a lot of Scottish voices in order to master the accent, but Rab C. Nesbitt stood out for him. Johnny was slightly puzzled when he first watched it, but before too long his ears got attuned and he was laughing out loud."
Rab C. Nesbitt starred Gregor Fisher as the layabout soak who believed unemployment was his chosen path.
Grennell added: "Who knows? Maybe he'll turn up to his next film set sporting a string vest."
