Actor Johnny Depp called Donald Trump a “brat” this weekend at an event at Arizona State University.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star recently portrayed the billionaire mogul in the facetious online video “Funny or Die Presents Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal: The Movie,” a fake adaptation of Trump’s 1987 book.
“I approached Donald Trump as what you kind of see in him, when you really watch him,” Depp said about how he got in character to play the GOP presidential front-runner. “There’s a pretense. There’s something created about him in the sense of bullydom. But what he is, I believe, is a brat.”
Depp also made fun of the way Trump talks, specifically “the absurdity of where his sentences might travel.”
He compared Trump’s current message and his speaking style to former President Ronald Reagan.
“Reagan back in the day: ‘Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall!'” Depp said, doing his best Reagan impression.
He then transitioned into his best Trump voice: “Donald Trump: ‘I’m going to build a wall, a fabulous wall, and all of my billions are not going to have to pay for it. Because you know why? Mexico is going to pay for it.'”
