DEPP EXPECTS HEAT OVER TRUMP ASSASSINATION JOKE
JOHNNY Depp has joked about assassinating US President Donald Trump during an appearance at the Glastonbury Festival.
The Hollywood actor received a rock-star welcome yesterday during the event at a drive-in cinema on the Somerset site.
He introduced his 2004 film The Libertine along with film director Julien Temple but began talking about re- ligion and President Trump following questions from the 1500-strong audience.
“I think he needs help and there are a lot of wonderful dark, dark places he could go,” Depp said to cheers from the crowd. “It is just a question – I’m not insinuating anything.
“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?
“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.”
Actor John Wilkes Booth assassinated president Abraham Lincoln in 1865. AN EXPLOSION targeting a police vehicle in Pakistan’s south-western Quetta city yesterday killed at least five people and injured 14 others, officials said.
The explosion occurred in front of the office of the police chief in Quetta city, which is capital of the mineral rich southern Balochistan province rife with the separatist and Islamist insurgencies.
“We have received five dead bodies,” hospital doctor Fareed Ahmed said. “Some 14 people are brought wounded. Six of them are in critical condition.”
