10 Actors Who Could Play Donald Trump In A Film Biopic

10. Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp is certainly no stranger to physical transformations in his film roles, demonstrated by his brilliant portrayal of the brutal Bostonian gangster Whitey Bulger in 2015's Black Mass, as well as just about every Tim Burton film ever made. And the fact that he's already played Donald Trump onscreen before in Funny or Die's The Art of the Deal, a short film spoof of a humble-bragging (or straight-up bragging) book written by Trump in the '80s, means that Depp surprisingly has prior experience in the role.

Depp arguably channeled more of Robert De Niro's mannerisms rather than Trump's in The Art of the Deal, and the voice was anything but perfect, but it's important to remember that the film is essentially a big joke so it can't be held against him. What's most significant is how strikingly similar Depp looked to Trump in the short film thanks to some fantastic make-up work, which means that even though Depp is 17 years younger than Trump (as well as looking about 40 years younger than him), age is simply only a number in Hollywood.

As Depp put so much effort into mocking Trump it won't surprise you to hear that he is not a fan, so the only realistic way he would sign on to play him in a movie is if said movie wasn't showing Trump in a good light. Or conversely he and Funny or Die can just make a feature-length version of The Art of the Deal, but then there's every chance that he won't be allowed back into the country (which he probably wouldn't mind, to be honest).
