He’s also the only Disney whore I want to see half-naked on MySpace. Johnny is currently shooting Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland” for Tim Burton. He plays the Mad Hatter opposite Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Matt Lucas as Tweedledee/Tweedledum. The film will combine performance-capture imagery with live-action shit. Tim is also shooting it in 3-D. — D-Listed
