Actor Johnny Depp has expressed his desire to play the role of Roscoe ‘Fatty’ Arbuckle in a film adaptation of the actor’s life. Fatty became infamous after it was claimed he killed a young starlet, Virginia Rappe by squashing her to death while raping her in 1921.Although there was very little evidence that Fatty had done such a thing, rumours of his alleged crime kept newspaper busy for years.Fatty never recovered from the scandal, he was blacklisted from the film industry after people believed him to be guilty and cinema’s stopped showing his films.Depp has acquired the film rights to Jerry Stahl’s fictional memoirs of Fatty Arbuckle and has high hopes of playing the lead role.
Entertainment Wise
Fatty Arbuckle was found innocent of the crime, but it was too late for his career. I hope he does the movie because it really is an interesting story.
