Johnny Depp Expects Heat After Talking About Assassinating the President

Knock knock, Johnny Depp... It's a visit from the secret service.

Or at least that's probably what's going to happen to the actor now that he reportedly asked a crowd at the Cinemageddon festival in the U.K. How long it's been since "an actor assassinated a president."

Yeesh... But Depp immediately realized that making public statements about killing President Donald Trump is not a smart move.

According to New York Post's Page Six, Depp said "I want to qualify, I am not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it's been a while and maybe it is time."

Depp is referring to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by the actor, John Wilkes Booth.

Depp attempted to cover his tracks saying "It is just a question, I am not insinuating anything... By the way, this is going to be in the press. It will be horrible. I like how you are all a part of it."

Yes, Depp might want to give his pal Kathy Griffin a call because he might need some damage control after clearly taking full advantage of his right to free speech.
