Johnny Depp Spoofs Donald Trump in Epic "Funny or Die" Biopic
This is gonna be uge! Fresh off of the news thatJohnny Depp will be stepping into the unseeable shoes of Universals The Invisible Man, word of an even bigger role has emerged. It turns out that Depp played current Republican frontrunner for President, Donald Trump, in a lost film. Supposedly directed by Trump in the 80s and based on his bestselling book The Art of the Deal, this Funny or Die movie is period-appropriate from Trumps hairdo to his unending hubris. Its easily my favorite performance from Depp in years, probably because his over-the-top style and spot-on Trump impression are played so perfectly. The folks over at Funny or Die originally filmed this in December, wanting to keep it hush-hushin order to get it together quickly before the Trump fad burned out; with Trump winning the New Hampshire primary last night, it looks like the joke might really be on them.
Also featuringRon Howard, Alfred Molina, Robert Morse, Patton Oswalt, Jack McBrayer, Michaela Watkins, Henry Winkler, Stephen Merchant, Christopher Lloyd,Kristen Schaal, Andy Richter, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel, Tymberlee Hill, Alf, Jordan Coleman, Joe Nuez, andJeremy Konner,Funny or Die Presents Donald Trumps The Art Of The Deal: The Movieis available for your viewing pleasure right friggin now.
