Johnny Depp asks about assassinating the president at an arts festival

Actor John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in 1865.

Mumbai: 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’.
