Helena puts on brave act at Big Fish premiere

Actress Helena Bonham Carter put on a brave face when she attended the premiere of her new film Big Fish, a day after her father died.

She arrived at the event in a black dress and a silver belt wrapped around her hips, with her partner Tim Burton who directed the film.

Big Fish has been nominated for seven Baftas.

Bonham Carter, who plays a witch in the movie, was too upset to talk to the media at the premiere in central London’s Leicester Square.
