Johnny Depp went from sarcastic to sorry after joking about assassinating President Trump.
“Can we bring Trump here? I think he needs help,” he said.
“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’re all part of it. But when was the last time an actor assassinated a president?”
Explaining his remark, Depp then said, “I want to clarify, I’m not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it’s been a while and maybe it is time. Thank you so much for having me here.”
His comments to the nearly 2,000 fans seemed like a reference to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in 1865, when he was killed by actor John Wilkes Booth.
