Washington
(ANI):
Johnny
Depp
has
revealed
that
he
would
love
to
play
troubled
pop
star
Michael
Jackson
in
a
movie
about
his
life.
The
44-year-old
actor
was
believed
to
have
based
his
character
Willy
Wonka
in
Charlie
and
the
Chocolate
Factory
on
the
former
king
of
pop.
Though
Depp
maintained
that
any
similarities
to
Jackson
in
his
portrayal
are
purely
coincidental,
he
would
love
to
take
on
the
role
of
the
Thriller
hitmaker.
"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," Contactmusic
quoted
him,
saying.
"But
there
is
still
time
to
play
him.
He
might
get
up
to
his
old
tricks
again
and
maybe
there
will
be
a
TV
movie
about
him!"
he
added.
