JOHNNY DEPP BLASTS BUSH
By Anthony Harwood, Us Editor

AMERICAN star Johnny Depp has risked a Hollywood backlash by blasting
his homeland and President Bush over the Iraq war.

Depp described Bush as a "liar" and said America was a "dumb" country
during a promotional trip to Germany for his new film Pirates of the
Caribbean.

His comments will upset the generally ultra conservative movie bosses
but Depp said he did not plan to even live in the USA while Bush was in
power. He described the president's administration as "idiots".

The 40-year-old actor told Stern magazine: "The fact they renamed
French Fries Freedom Fries is proof.

"Just look at our president - unbelievable. In Iraq it was all about
business, about money. He is one of the worst liars."

Depp called the US a "dumb, aggressive puppy" and said he was happier
in France with his wife, singer Vanessa Paradis, and their two
children. But one movie insider warned: "Hollywood is a conservative
town. It will be interesting to see where his values lie when the pay
cheques stop coming in."

Anti-war actor Tim Robbins has had promotions cancelled in America
since he spoke out. And actress Margot Kidder also found her career in
freefall after publicly opposing the first Gulf War.
