Johnny Depp transforms into Donald Trump in hilarious spoof

By Tribute on February 11, 2016 | 4 Comments


This may be Johnny Depp‘s most shocking transformation yet. And this is a guy who’s played everyone from Whitey Bulger to Willy Wonka.

In Funny or Die‘s latest release, the 43-year-old actor plasters on a strawberry blonde wig and about a pound (or two) of prosthetic makeup to portray the wannabe-president in this “biopic” about his rise to success in the ’80s. It’s called Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal: The Movie, and it’s based on Trump’s actual 1987 memoir of the same name.

Here’s the funniest part of all: it’s a full 50-minute-long movie. Someone spent a lot of dough spoofing Donald Trump’s wet dream. It’s “written, directed and stars” Trump — actually, Oscar-winner Ron Howard was at the helm of this viral masterpiece. It also features a slew of hilarious cameos from Alfred Molina, Patton Oswalt, Henry Winkler, Stephen Merchant, and more. The Art of the Deal: The Movie may not be the flick that the world needs, but it’s certainly the one The Donald deserves.

Here’s the trailer for Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal: The Movie:

    Johhny Depp even with faux weight on makes a more handsome Donald than Trump is in real life!

    Johnny Depp is 53 not 43. It’s called “fact checking”. Give it a try sometime Tribute.
