Many film fans first came to know Jamie Campbell Bower through his breakout role in Tim Burton's 2007 musical "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street." At only 19 years old, Bower played Anthony, the dashing young sailor who falls in love with the barber's daughter, Lucy.
"I was so high on the adrenaline," he told the Evening Standard, explaining that he was still in school when he got the part and would often have to return to his dorm after a night of filming. "As a first gig you can't go wrong. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton as a team are one of the reasons I love cinema," he gushed.
However, apparently his first day on set didn't go well. The very first thing Bower had to do was record the film's songs, and he found himself plucked from obscurity and suddenly having to sing in front of legendary faces like Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Burton himself. "I didn't perform very well that day. It was very daunting. In fact, I think I was the worst," he confessed to the Observer. Thankfully, Bower was able to shake his nerves, and his performance went on to be well-received by fans. Years later, one follower wrote on Twitter about his exploding popularity, "I think it's funny how everyone is now a fan of Jamie Campbell Bower when the real OGs know him from 'Sweeney Todd.'"
