Hollywood actor Johnny Depp is remarkably known for his legendary versatility with his renowned roles as the clever Captain Jack Sparrow, mad hatter, and of course as a transcendental scientist. As the presidential hype goes up, the Pirates of Caribbean actor went blonde and perfectly acquired that Trump's Queens accent to play a spoofed role of the real-estate-mogul-turned-presidential-republican-front-runner Donald Trump.

According to Times of India report, Depp fitted in the spoofed Donald Trump role based on the book titled 'Trump: The Art of The Deal'- set in 1980s New York as Trump established his business empire by closing on a dozen deals including a desperate attempt to acquire the Taj Mahal Casino Resort from the Hiltons.

Streamed on the comedy website Funny or Die, the hour-long film also had a slew of equally impressive stars like Ron Howard and Patton Oswalt.

"Everyone who was involved in the project is super cool and people with whom we have great relationships. They all understood the importance of keeping this a secret with the understanding that the Internet loves to be surprised. Also there was a lot of begging," remarked Funny or Die editor-in-chief Owen Burke as quoted saying by CNN.

The spoofed comedy biopic of the current media sensation and political hopeful includes a number of unforgettable gamey lines like "I love minorities - they're sensual ... they're exotic ...", "I'm making the opposite of a mistake - a good-stake", and "It's called real estate! Not fake estate" as mentioned in an article written by Peter Bradshaw for The Guardian.
