Johnny Depp is a guest on Ellen today and he shared with us whom he based his character Willy Wonka on in the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He told Ellen DeGeneres, “I imagined what George Bush would be like incredibly stoned. And, thus was born my version of Willy Wonka.” Now when you go and watch the movie again, because you know you are going to, see if you can an extremely high former President in Depp’s Willy.
BTW I haven’t been this destroyed about finding out who an actor based their character on since Christian Bale admitted that American Psycho’s Patrick Bateman was based on Tom Cruise.
