Hollywood actor Johnny Depp jokes about killing president Donald Trump

Johnny Depp joked about assassinating US President Donald Trump during an appearance at Glastonbury’s Cineramageddon – a drive-in cinema on the Somerset site.

“I think he needs help and there are a lot of wonderful dark, dark places he could go,” Depp said, to cheers from the 1,500-strong audience.

“It is just a question – I’m not insinuating anything. By the way, this is going to be in the press. It will be horrible. I like that you are all a part of it.

“When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?” he asked in reference to the death of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth in 1865.

“I want to qualify, I am not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it has been a while and maybe it is time,” he added.
