The 58-year-old actor — who has affectionately been referred to as a Hollywood vampire because he never seems to age — has been a staple in the movie world for the last four decades, since becoming a worldwide star after taking on the unique role of a boy born with scissor hands in Tim Burton’s 1990 romantic fantasy “Edward Scissorhands.” The two teamed up several times during his movie career, creating films such as “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” and “Sleepy Hollow.”
