Johnny Depp wants to duet with Barry Manilow.
The Hollywood star revealed he would jump at the chance to sing with the 64-year-old 'Mandy' singer.
Speaking about his lead role in musical 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street', he told Envelope magazine: "I don't think I would have attempted this kind of project with anyone but a director like Tim Burton.
"But if there's a chance of doing a duet with Barry Manilow now, then I'm in!"
Depp previously admitted he was unsure of his own singing talents before signing up for the film.
The 44-year-old star said: "I knew I wasn't tone deaf but I didn't know if I'd really be able to hold the notes or belt out a tune."
But Burton claims Depp "exceeded all expectations" with his vocal performances.
He said: "I always had every confidence in him and he needn't have worried at all.
"His performance was wonderful and exceeded all of my expectations. He is a great actor."
