Johnny Depp has a fetish for dressing in women's clothes.

The Hollywood heartthrob has admitted he has always sneakily stared at girls' shoes and stockings.

He is quoted in Britain's More magazine as saying: "I'd be embarrassed for my friends to find out that I'm familiar with women's clothing. Since wearing a slip and a bra in 'Ed Wood' I have much more respect for women.

"Actually I find myself constantly sneaking looks at women's shoes and stockings. I've developed this subconscious habit. It may be a little dangerous - I'm a little worried."

Earlier this year, the star revealed he was thinking about making a porn film with director Tim Burton.

The actor - who teamed up with Burton for box-office smash 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' - said he is worried about being typecast as a whimsical eccentric because of his work with the iconic movie-maker.

Depp - who has worked with Burton on several films, including 'Edward Scissor Hands' and 'Sleepy Hollow' - thinks an X-rated career change could be the best thing for both of them.

He said: "I don't want to be typecast as an eccentric. Maybe I should do something totally different and film a cracking porn film with Tim."
