Johnny Depp has asked a crowd at the Glastonbury Festival when was the last time an actor assassinated a president. The remarks came during a segment Thursday in which Depp was speaking about President Donald Trump.

He asked the question at the annual festival that celebrates the performing arts.

The 54-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star followed by saying that he is not an actor, but someone who lies for a living.

However, he said, it’s “been a while.”

Actor John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in 1865.

Depp was at the festival to introduce a screening of his 2004 film The Libertine.

He played Trump last year in a Fun or Die video parody of the businessman’s 1987 book The Art of the Deal.
