Depp brands horses 'worst co-stars'
Johnny Depp has revealed that he hates working with horses after being dragged through mud while shooting Sleepy Hollow.

The actor was instructed to hang on to the back of a carriage while the animals raced through the dirt on the set of director Tim Burton's 1999 film.

He recalled: "One morning when we were filming Sleepy Hollow, Tim called me to the set, pointed to two large horses strapped to a carriage and said: 'This is what we are going to be doing today.'

"I was to hold on to the carriage behind the horses, being dragged along through the muck."

He added: "The horses must have fed on curry. I've never smelt anything like that."

Depp recently revealed that his performance in Pirates of the Caribbean made a sick woman laugh for the first time in years.
