Depp: 'Stoned' George Bush inspired Wonka character
Johnny Depp says thinking of an "incredibly stoned" George W. Bush was his main inspiration to play Willy Wonka.
The 'Dark Shadows' actor considered how the former US President might act if he was high when he was thinking about the best way to portray the fictional character in Tim Burton's 2005 movie 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', and he loves injecting some "irreverence or absurdity" into his alter-egos.
