From Johnny Depp To The Mad Hatter Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland. He contributed with the overall idea for the makeup since he wanted to maintain some of the notions that Lewis Carroll had in the book. Depp said he learned about a disease called The Hatter's Disease that was caused by the poisonous chemicals used to glue hats together.

Some people would have Tourettes or personality disorders, and some would turn darker. This helped me come up with the idea for the Mad Hatter's skin hue. They also added all the orange touches because the adhesive was orange.
