During an appearance at a film festival in the United Kingdom, Johny Depp insinuated he wanted to assassinate Donald Trump by kinda-sorta offering to be the next actor to kill a president.

The actor asked the crowd how long it’s been since “an actor assassinated a president,” referencing the Abraham Lincoln assassination by actor John Wilkes Booth. It happened while he was introducing a film, reports The Guardian.

“I want to qualify, I am not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it has been a while and maybe it is time,” he said to the crowd. After realizing what he said was kinda controversial, he later added: “It is just a question – I’m not insinuating anything. By the way, this is going to be in the press. It will be horrible. I like that you are all a part of it.”
