Johnny Depp hyperventilates when he watches his own movies.

The star revealed: "I don't watch my films. Last year in France 'Ed Wood' came on television and it was dubbed in French and it was so surreal. So I watched about 10 minutes of it and that's all."

"Then another time 'Gilbert Grape' came on. I saw the opening credits and then the opening scene - and then I started to hyperventilate and I just shut the TV off and walked away."

The actor also admitted once he has stopped filming his part in a movie - he doesn't like seeing the finished product.

He added to Britain's Loaded magazine: "I always figured that once I'm wrapped on a film, once my job is done, then anything beyond that is none of my business."
