Tim Burton's Internet Confession: Depression and Dinosaurs
Tim Burton has made a shocking admission about his fear of technology. The famous director says the internet can trigger his depression. He shared his concerns with BBC News before his London exhibition opening.
"If I look at the internet, I found that I got quite depressed. It scared me because I started to go down a dark hole," Burton revealed. "So I try to avoid it, because it doesn't make me feel good," he added.
Burton has found an unusual escape from the digital world. His London garden houses massive dinosaur models. The collection includes a 20-foot T-Rex. It also features a 50-foot Brontosaurus. He rescued these prehistoric replicas from amusement parks.
The director's career is flourishing despite his tech fears. His Netflix series 'Wednesday' has given him new momentum. A new exhibition called "The World of Tim Burton" is opening soon. It will run from October 25 until April 21, 2025. The showcase will display 600 items from his career.
Burton spoke candidly to NME about his stance in Hollywood. "What I realise now, maybe because I'm older as well, is OK I'm just gonna do what I want. And if you want to do it, fine. If not, then you don't have to go on this journey with me," he stated.
The director remains incredibly active in the industry. He's currently working on 'Wednesday' season two. His new film 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' is coming to theaters. Burton's avoidance of digital media might be helping his creativity. His honesty about internet anxiety shows a vulnerable side to the Hollywood legend.
Tim Burton has done very well in a field that uses a lot of computers and technology. His fear of technology hasn't stopped his creative output. It could help grow his special way of creating art. Fans eagerly await what this imaginative director will create next.
