Johnny Depp acted as a relationship counsellor for Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter on the set their new film.

The actor - who stars as murderous barber Sweeney Todd in musical movie "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" - regularly helped his co-star Helena and her director boyfriend through their "domestics".

Helena said, "Johnny was very helpful because me and Tim would sometimes have little domestics and he was very diplomatic!"

The actress - who recently gave birth to a baby daughter, her second child with Tim - also said Johnny helped her remember her lines because she was pregnant when they shot the film.

She said, "Johnny was very thoughtful because I was pregnant and when you are pregnant, for the first three months it's difficult to concentrate on anything - all your energy goes into the baby."

"Sometimes he was off camera and when I had completely forgotten what Tim had told me, Johnny would just sign language, 'Look over there!' or whatever it was I needed to do, so that was particularly helpful!"
