Michael Shannon says he would never play US President Donald Trump.
The 47-year-old actor has enjoyed a career which has seen him play an eclectic range of roles, however, there is one role that he would never take on and that is White House incumbent Trump, because he has no respect for him.
The 'Shape of Water' star is interested in Trump because he is fascinated by duplicitous characters and likes to explore people with issues to overcome, but he believes that the president isn't struggling with any personal demons and is "having a blast" as America's leader.
Speaking to Playboy magazine, he said: "He's having a blast! Are you f***ing kidding me? That guy is having so much fun. He's having the time of his f***ing life. He doesn't even have to work. All the hard work that most people have to do to get to be president of the United States, he just skipped all that.”
