Johnny Depp has issued an apology for a controversial comment about President Donald Trump, asking, “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?”

TOO late has-been washed up actor. You’ve told us what you think, so it’s over. Go get a real job somewhere. I really hope your whole career collapses.

That’s gonna leave a mark on your box office receipts, Johnny! Too bad, it sounds like you might have to start flying commercial again. Bwahahahaha!

I think it was a major PR stunt. Will not work for him though, many of us are p9ssed off at actors who mouth off, will never buy a film of his again.

[Enchante]

[tuffydoodle]

I’ll never see another movie that guy is in. Heck, if he was advertising toilet paper, I’d buy a different brand even if it was scratchy.

Prepping to appear in “Sharknado 6”, I’m assuming?

Remember with that he said, “I lie for a living..”
