Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter pitch to Dragons' Den

It's a showbiz collaboration we never thought we'd hear of, but actors Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter have pitched a business idea to those scary bigwigs in Dragons' Den.  

Tim Burton 's new flick Dark Shadows features both Johnny and Helena, naturally. The film is currently in production at Pinewood Studios, which just so happens to be where the new series of Dragons' Den is being filmed.

Johnny and Helena are said to have approached some of the Dragon's, and Helena attempted to sell them her brilliant idea of *drum roll*...a 'Prambrella' (a pram that has an umbrella built in, obv). A source told The Mirror:

"Johnny was delighted to meet the Dragons, and Tim and Helena were telling them they are avid fans and watch every week"

The source also went on to say:

"Johnny was laughing and joining in, but it wasn't a great idea, so all the Dragons very politely told her, 'I'm out'." Charming.

He's gorgeous and he loves the same telly as us! *Swoon*. The Heat office are furiously shaking out our piggy banks to invest, anything to try and get a date with Jack Sparrow. 

Both Johnny and Helena will be starring together in another upcoming film The Lone Ranger, she is one lady we'd happily trade places with. The ninth series of Dragons' Den starts this Sunday on BBC2.

    Helena Bonham Carter rocks, she has incredible range as an actress! Plus she looks more like my sister than my sister does, so I have a soft spot for her! And she did a hell of a lot of stuff before she ever married Tim Burton.

    I adore HBC, she has had a career outside of her marriage! She was excellent in the Kings Speech. Love the collaborations she does with Burton tho.

    It is impossible to remain even slightly dry whilst holding a push chair and pushing a pushchair!

    Yeah i can see where she's coming from, It must be hard to chuff on a fag while pushing a buggy and holding a brolly.

    Dammit I have always thought I should go on Dragon's Den with the idea of an umbrella attatched to a pram or pushchair!!!!!After several years of getting soaked while my son sat comfortably under his raincover!

    Helena 'I did well marrying a director' Bonham Carter - can you stop ruining films by playing yourself in every single one?
