Johnny Depp has been making quite a few headlines, recently. Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with an announcement of Pirates of the Caribbean 6: I Don’t Know, Maybe Jack Pissed Off, Like, Aquaman?, but rather Depp’s controversial Trump assassination joke. Whilst onstage at the Glastonbury Festival yesterday, Depp asked the crowd, “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?” Not content to simply let that comment fester, Depp continued, “I want to clarify: I’m not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it’s been a while, and maybe it’s time.”
Obviously, everybody and their mom has lashed out against the ill-advised joke—and several news outlets report the White House strongly condemns the joke as if that needed clarification— and we’ve compiled a few of the funniest tweets on the matter.
At home, Johnny Depp walks through his room of scarves, deciding which one will take the fall for his idiocy.
