Talk about a saving grace!

According to Splitsider, Jim Carrey was considered for the role of Edward Scissorhands, which eventually went to Johnny Depp — and was beautifully played, by the way!

Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr were also considered, but had previously lacked experience as a dramatic actor during this time. No doubt, Jim’s version would have been more comedic than Johnny’s.

But still… it would have been interesting!
