LOS ANGELES (AP) — Johnny Depp has asked a crowd at the Glastonbury Festival when was the last time an actor assassinated a president. The remarks came during a segment Thursday in which Depp was speaking about President Donald Trump.
He asked the question at the annual festival that celebrates the performing arts.
The 54-year-old “Pirates of the Caribbean” star followed by saying that he is not an actor, but someone who lies for a living.
However, he said, it’s “been a while, and maybe it’s time.”
Actor John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in 1865.
Depp was at the festival to introduce a screening of his 2004 film “The Libertine.”
He played Trump last year in a Fun or Die video parody of the businessman’s 1987 book “The Art of the Deal.”
I now brand thee Johnny ‘Ted Nugent’ Depp. Nice going asshole.
Check out the BBC account of what was said. TPM; gives an incomplete report. Depp is still an idiot, though. Definitely not at the Ted Nugent level yet. Perhaps Trump level.
Channeling Trump, much?
Otherwise, Pffft!
I listened to the full audio. It was a bit more than Trump level but you’re correct, it was still something above Nugent. Right or left, asshole celebs shooting their mouths off are still asshole celebs.
Edit: He’s even starting to look like Nugent.
“Pay attention to me!!!”
No less ambiguous than our commander-in-consternation. Trump probably loves this guy.
