Helena Bonham Carter just revealed Tim Burton was sketching while she was "literally giving birth."
The 59-year-old star - whose 13-year relationship with the iconic filmmaker ended in 2014 - has recalled how her 67-year-old former partner is always doing his own drawings, no matter what's going on around him.
Speaking in new documentary Tim Burton: Life in the Line, she said: "He literally draws his way through life.”
The Harry Potter star continued, “Even if he's with you, he would be sketching. Even through momentous occasions.”
"I'd be having a child. He would still sketch. Literally giving birth. We’ve got our whole lives sketched,” she said, adding, “It was definitely an adventure shared. We went through 1000s of drawings before we decided to call it a day.”
Helena and Tim have children Billy, 22, and Nell, 17, together, while he also cast her in several of his projects, including Sweeney Todd, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Alice in Wonderland and many more.
She laughed: “He gave me some great characters, including the children.”
“But he gave me the chance to create character where, ’til then, I probably hadn't been given the chance to,” Helena Bonham Carter concluded.
