Johnny Depp wants to play Michael Jackson

Johnny Depp revealed that he would like to play Michael Jackson in a movie about the king (if he still is a man - who knows) of pop's life.

'I have heard that I based Willy Wonka on Michael Jackson before, but no, that was not my plan, I wish I had thought of that though,'

'But there is still time to play him. He might get up to old tricks again and maybe there will be a TV movie about him.'

Depp says he has studied Michael's mannerisms and is ready to go if a script surfaces.

I think I can see a small resemblance. All Johnny has to do is take a staple gun to his nose.
